1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
5 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
6 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
7 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
8 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
9 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
10 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
11 to disable this new behavior, if you must.
14 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
15 trying to create parameters twice.
16 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
17 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
18 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
19 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
20 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
21 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
22 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
23 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
24 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
25 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
26 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
29 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
30 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
31 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
32 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
33 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
34 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
37 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
38 to prevent it happening again.
41 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
42 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
43 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
44 test case to prevent regressions.
47 - Minor documentation corrections
48 - Make the '79 development series stable
50 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
51 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
52 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
53 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
54 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
56 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
57 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
58 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
59 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
60 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
61 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
62 changes introduced in v5.90080.
64 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
65 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
66 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
67 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
68 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
69 note posted a few months ago.
70 - Added my name to the contributors list
72 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
73 - Merged changes from 5.90078
74 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
75 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
76 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
77 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
78 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
79 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
80 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
81 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
82 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
83 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
84 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
86 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
87 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
88 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
90 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
91 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
92 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
93 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
94 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
95 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
96 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
97 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
98 has already been called (and headers already sent).
99 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
100 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
102 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
103 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
104 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
106 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
107 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
110 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
111 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
112 existing Plack conventions.
113 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
114 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
115 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
116 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
117 don't bubble back up to the main application.
118 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
119 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
120 I highly suggest you test this release.
121 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
122 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
123 correct if incorrect :)
124 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
125 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
126 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
127 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
128 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
129 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
130 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
131 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
132 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
134 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
135 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
136 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
138 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
139 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
140 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
141 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
145 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
147 - updated year in copyright notices
150 - POD corrections (sergey++)
151 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
152 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
153 trouble. (davewood++);
154 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
155 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
156 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
159 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
160 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
161 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
162 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
163 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
166 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
167 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
168 HTTP Exception middleware.
171 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
172 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
173 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
174 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
175 you really need to review this exploit.
178 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
181 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
182 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
183 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
184 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
186 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
189 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
190 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
191 so you can go to hunt it out.
194 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
195 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
196 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
197 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
198 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
199 - Added Italian translation of default error.
202 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
205 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
206 certain tests. No other changes.
209 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
210 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
211 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
213 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
215 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
217 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
221 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
222 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
223 questions or problems!
224 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
225 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
226 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
227 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
228 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
229 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
230 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
231 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
232 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
235 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
236 - documentation and test fixes
239 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
240 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
241 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
242 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
243 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
244 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
245 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
248 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
249 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
252 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
253 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
254 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
255 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
256 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
257 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
258 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
259 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
261 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
264 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
265 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
268 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
269 introduced by a change in December.
272 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
275 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
276 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
277 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
278 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
279 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
282 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
283 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
284 reported while installing.
285 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
286 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
287 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
288 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
289 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
290 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
291 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
292 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
293 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
294 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
295 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
296 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
297 - update copyright notices.
299 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
300 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
301 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
302 fails to install (sorry).
303 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
304 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
305 middleware deal with it.
307 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
308 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
309 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
310 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
311 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
312 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
313 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
314 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
315 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
317 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
318 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
319 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
320 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
321 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
322 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
323 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
324 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
325 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
326 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
328 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
329 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
330 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
331 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
335 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
336 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
337 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
338 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
339 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
340 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
344 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
345 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
346 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
348 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
349 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
350 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
352 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
353 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
354 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
355 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
357 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
358 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
359 - Various POD formatting fixed.
360 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
361 accept and issues that might arise.
364 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
365 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
368 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
369 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
370 for internal methods:
372 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
373 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
374 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
376 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
377 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
378 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
379 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
381 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
382 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
383 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
385 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
386 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
387 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
388 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
389 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
391 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
392 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
393 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
394 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
395 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
396 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
397 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
398 cases to reflect this change.
400 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
401 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
402 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
403 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
404 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
405 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
406 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
407 those keys already exist). Keys added:
408 - plack.request.query
410 - plack.request.merged
411 - plack.request.http.body
412 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
413 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
414 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
415 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
416 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
417 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
418 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
419 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
420 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
421 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
422 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
423 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
424 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
425 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
426 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
427 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
428 is a scalar or arrayref.
429 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
430 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
432 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
433 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
434 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
436 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
437 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
438 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
439 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
440 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
441 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
442 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
443 a development setup (ether++)
445 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
446 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
447 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
448 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
449 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
450 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
451 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
452 case t/data_handler.t
454 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
455 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
456 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
457 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
458 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
461 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
462 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
463 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
464 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
466 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
468 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
472 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
473 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
474 this fixes all of them.
475 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
476 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
477 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
478 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
480 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
483 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
484 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
485 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
486 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
487 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
488 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
489 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
491 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
492 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
493 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
494 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
495 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
496 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
498 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
499 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
500 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
501 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
502 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
503 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
504 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
505 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
507 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
510 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
511 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
512 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
513 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
514 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
515 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
517 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
518 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
519 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
520 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
521 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
522 - smarter validation around action attributes.
525 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
526 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
527 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
528 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
529 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
530 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
531 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
532 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
533 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
534 in behavior is compatible on its own.
535 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
536 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
537 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
538 - Some test and documentation improvements
540 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
541 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
542 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
543 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
546 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
547 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
550 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
551 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
553 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
554 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
556 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
558 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
559 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
561 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
563 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
564 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
565 of request or response classes.
567 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
568 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
569 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
570 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
571 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
572 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
573 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
574 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
575 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
576 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
578 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
579 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
580 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
581 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
582 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
584 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
586 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
587 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
589 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
591 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
592 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
593 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
596 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
599 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
602 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
603 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
605 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
608 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
611 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
613 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
615 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
617 Distribution META.yml changes:
618 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
619 mis-parses from the documentation.
620 - x_authority key added.
623 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
624 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
626 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
627 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
628 is less than helpful.
630 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
631 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
632 in bleadperl. RT#76437
634 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
635 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
638 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
639 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
641 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
642 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
643 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
645 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
648 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
649 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
650 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
651 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
652 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
653 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
655 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
657 - --background option for the server script now only closes
658 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
659 and other loggers which open a file handle when
660 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
661 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
662 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
665 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
668 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
669 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
670 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
671 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
673 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
676 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
679 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
680 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
681 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
682 included when not running from a checkout.
684 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
686 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
687 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
688 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
690 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
692 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
694 New features and refactoring:
695 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
696 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
697 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
699 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
700 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
701 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
704 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
705 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
706 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
708 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
710 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
711 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
712 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
713 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
714 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
715 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
717 Back compatibility fixes:
718 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
719 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
720 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
723 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
726 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
727 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
728 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
730 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
731 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
732 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
734 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
737 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
738 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
739 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
740 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
741 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
744 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
745 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
747 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
748 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
749 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
751 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
754 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
755 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
756 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
757 get them passed through to the application.
760 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
761 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
762 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
763 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
766 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
767 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
768 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
769 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
771 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
772 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
773 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
775 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
776 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
778 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
782 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
783 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
784 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
785 whereas before you had to say:
786 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
787 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
788 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
791 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
792 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
793 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
794 scripts in the application.
795 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
796 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
797 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
802 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
804 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
805 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
806 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
807 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
808 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
809 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
810 and provide an alternative.
812 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
816 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
819 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
822 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
824 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
825 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
826 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
827 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
828 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
829 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
833 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
834 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
836 Backward compatibility fixes:
838 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
839 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
843 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
844 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
846 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
848 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
850 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
851 Backward compatibility fixes:
853 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
854 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
856 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
860 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
861 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
862 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
864 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
866 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
867 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
869 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
873 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
875 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
877 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
879 Backward compatibility fixes:
881 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
883 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
884 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
885 for backward compatibility.
889 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
890 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
894 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
895 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
896 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
898 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
900 Backward compatibility fixes:
902 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
903 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
907 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
910 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
911 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
912 example) Coro is loaded.
914 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
915 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
917 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
918 using MooseX::Deamonize
920 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
921 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
922 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
923 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
924 deployed in these environments.
928 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
932 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
933 file for your application.
935 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
939 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
940 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
942 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
945 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
946 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
948 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
950 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
951 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
953 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
954 IO::Handle's behaviour.
956 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
957 was not breaking out correctly
959 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
960 to also work in the $c->component method.
962 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
963 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
964 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
966 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
968 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
970 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
972 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
973 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
976 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
978 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
981 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
985 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
986 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
987 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
989 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
992 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
994 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
995 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
996 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
998 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1001 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1002 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1003 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1004 the new major version of Catalyst.
1007 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1008 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1010 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1013 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1014 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1015 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1017 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1019 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1020 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1021 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1023 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1024 in Catalyst::execute
1026 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1027 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1028 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1030 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1031 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1035 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1036 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1038 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1039 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1040 developers without changing their application code.
1042 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1045 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1046 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1047 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1048 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1049 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1051 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1052 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1054 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1056 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1060 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1061 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1062 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1063 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1064 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1065 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1066 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1068 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1069 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1070 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1071 class, please tell us *now*.
1073 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1076 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1078 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1079 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1080 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1081 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1082 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1083 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1086 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1087 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1088 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1089 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1090 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1091 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1092 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1093 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1095 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1096 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1097 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1098 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1099 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1100 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1101 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1102 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1105 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1106 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1108 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1111 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1112 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1116 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1117 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1119 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1122 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1124 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1125 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1127 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1129 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1132 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1134 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1137 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1138 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1139 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1141 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1144 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1146 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1147 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1148 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1149 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1150 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1152 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1155 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1156 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1157 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1160 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1161 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1166 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1169 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1172 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1173 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1174 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1175 the default action creation.
1178 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1179 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1180 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1181 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1182 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1183 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1184 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1187 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1189 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1191 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1193 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1196 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1197 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1198 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1199 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1200 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1203 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1204 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1207 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1208 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1209 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1210 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1212 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1215 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1216 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1217 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1218 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1219 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1220 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1221 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1222 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1225 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1226 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1227 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1229 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1230 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1231 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1232 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1235 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1236 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1239 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1240 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1243 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1246 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1247 the content type and content length if available.
1249 Refactoring / optimizations:
1250 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1251 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1252 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1253 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1254 screen as easy to write.
1255 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1256 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1257 in parameter filtering (for example).
1258 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1259 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1260 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1261 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1262 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1265 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1266 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1267 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1268 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1270 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1273 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1274 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1276 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1279 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1280 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1282 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1285 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1286 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1287 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1288 which should not be encoded.
1289 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1290 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1292 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1293 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1294 any set of args/captures.
1296 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1297 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1299 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1303 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1305 - Various minor typo fixes.
1308 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1310 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1313 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1314 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1315 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1318 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1319 - Clarify documentation about debug
1322 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1323 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1324 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1326 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1329 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1330 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1334 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1335 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1337 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1338 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1339 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1340 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1341 argv key in the options hash.
1342 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1343 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1344 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1345 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1347 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1351 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1352 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1353 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1354 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1355 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1357 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1361 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1362 encoding test controller.
1364 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1366 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1367 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1368 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1369 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1371 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1372 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1373 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1374 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1375 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1377 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1381 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1382 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1383 less packed with information of no use.
1387 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1389 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1391 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1392 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1393 the single character '0'.
1394 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1397 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1398 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1399 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1401 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1403 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1404 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1405 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1406 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1407 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1408 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1409 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1410 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1411 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1412 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1413 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1414 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1416 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1417 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1419 Refactoring / cleanups:
1420 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1421 (and then skipped) normally.
1424 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1426 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1429 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1430 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1431 on the old behaviour.
1433 Refactoring / cleanups:
1434 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1435 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1437 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1440 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1441 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1442 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1443 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1444 as there is no recommended alternative.
1445 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1446 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1447 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1448 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1449 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1450 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1451 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1452 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1453 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1454 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1455 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1456 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1457 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1458 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1461 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1462 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1463 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1464 deprecated and causes warnings).
1465 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1466 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1467 in the correct order.
1468 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1470 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1471 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1472 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1475 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1476 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1477 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1478 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1479 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1481 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1482 exception classes need to implement.
1483 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1484 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1487 Refactoring / cleanups:
1488 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1489 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1490 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1491 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1492 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1493 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1494 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1496 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1499 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1500 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1501 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1502 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1504 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1505 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1506 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1509 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1510 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1513 Refactoring / cleanups:
1514 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1515 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1516 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1517 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1518 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1520 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1523 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1524 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1525 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1526 now loaded at most once + tests.
1527 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1528 is returned to 'actions'.
1529 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1530 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1532 Refactoring / cleanups:
1533 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1534 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1537 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1538 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1539 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1541 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1544 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1545 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1548 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1551 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1552 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1553 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1555 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1558 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1559 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1560 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1562 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1565 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1566 application class immutable without that option.
1567 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1568 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1570 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1571 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1572 (hopefully) future versions.
1573 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1574 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1575 variables (RT#48555)
1576 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1578 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1579 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1580 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1581 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1582 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1584 Refactoring / cleanups:
1585 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1586 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1587 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1588 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1589 known issues with 5.8.3.
1590 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1591 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1594 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1595 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1596 for the controller namespace
1597 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1598 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1599 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1600 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1601 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1602 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1604 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1605 frontend port (jshirley)
1606 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1610 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1611 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1612 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1613 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1616 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1619 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1620 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1621 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1623 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1624 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1625 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1626 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1627 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1628 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1632 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1633 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1634 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1637 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1640 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1641 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1643 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1644 in some environments.
1645 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1646 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1647 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1648 except works correctly with closures.
1649 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1650 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1651 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1652 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1653 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1654 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1655 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1658 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1659 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1660 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1661 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1662 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1663 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1665 Refactoring / cleanups:
1666 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1667 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1668 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1669 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1671 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1672 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1673 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1675 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1676 again in Catalyst::Test
1678 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1681 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1682 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1685 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1688 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1689 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1690 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1692 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1695 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1696 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1699 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1700 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1704 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1705 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1706 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1707 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1708 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1710 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1711 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
1712 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1713 controller naming. (random)
1714 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1715 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1716 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1717 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1718 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1720 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1722 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when

1730 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1731 to report 'Unknown Error'
1732 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1733 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

1767 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1768 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1770 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1771 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1772 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1773 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1805 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1807 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1808 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1809 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1810 tries to chain to itself
1812 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1813 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1814 - Tests for this (radek)
1815 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1816 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1817 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1818 - Tests for this (radek)

1829 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1830 in production versions
1831 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1832 the correct metaclass
1833 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1834 the restarter process
1835 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1836 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1838 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1839 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1840 immutable restart correctly.
1842 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1843 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1859 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1860 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1861 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1862 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
1864 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1865 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1904 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1905 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1916 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1917 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1925 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1927 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1928 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1953 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1954 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1955 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2077 throw warnings for two reasons:
2078 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2079 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2081 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2082 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the

2126 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
2127 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
