4 - Additional fix for getting the base application path right when rewriting
5 requests into an application sub path with mod_alias and mod_rewrite on
9 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
10 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
11 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
14 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
17 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
18 the content type and content length if available.
20 Refactoring / optimizations:
21 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
22 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
23 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
24 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
25 screen as easy to write.
26 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
27 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
28 in parameter filtering (for example).
29 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
30 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
31 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
32 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
33 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
36 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
37 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
38 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
39 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
41 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
44 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
45 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
47 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
50 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
51 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
53 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
56 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
57 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
58 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
59 which should not be encoded.
60 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
61 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
63 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
64 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
65 any set of args/captures.
67 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
68 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
70 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
74 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
76 - Various minor typo fixes.
79 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
81 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
84 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
85 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
86 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
89 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
90 - Clarify documentation about debug
93 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
94 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
95 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
97 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
100 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
101 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
105 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
106 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
108 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
109 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
110 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
111 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
112 argv key in the options hash.
113 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
114 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
115 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
116 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
118 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
122 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
123 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
124 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
125 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
126 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
128 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
132 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
133 encoding test controller.
135 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
137 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
138 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
139 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
140 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
142 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
143 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
144 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
145 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
146 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
148 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
152 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
153 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
154 less packed with information of no use.
158 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
160 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
162 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
163 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
164 the single character '0'.
165 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
168 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
169 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
170 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
172 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
174 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
175 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
176 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
177 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
178 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
179 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
180 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
181 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
182 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
183 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
184 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
185 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
187 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
188 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
190 Refactoring / cleanups:
191 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
192 (and then skipped) normally.
195 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
197 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
200 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
201 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
202 on the old behaviour.
204 Refactoring / cleanups:
205 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
206 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
208 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
211 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
212 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
213 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
214 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
215 as there is no recommended alternative.
216 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
217 fallback for fully qualified component names.
218 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
219 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
220 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
221 startup, rather than with the first hit.
222 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
223 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
224 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
225 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
226 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
227 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
228 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
229 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
232 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
233 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
234 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
235 deprecated and causes warnings).
236 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
237 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
238 in the correct order.
239 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
241 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
242 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
243 is deprecated (RT#51489)
246 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
247 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
248 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
249 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
250 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
252 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
253 exception classes need to implement.
254 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
255 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
258 Refactoring / cleanups:
259 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
260 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
261 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
262 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
263 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
264 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
265 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
267 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
270 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
271 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
272 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
273 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
275 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
276 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
277 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
280 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
281 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
284 Refactoring / cleanups:
285 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
286 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
287 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
288 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
289 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
291 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
294 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
295 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
296 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
297 now loaded at most once + tests.
298 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
299 is returned to 'actions'.
300 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
301 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
303 Refactoring / cleanups:
304 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
305 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
308 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
309 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
310 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
312 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
315 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
316 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
319 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
322 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
323 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
324 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
326 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
329 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
330 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
331 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
333 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
336 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
337 application class immutable without that option.
338 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
339 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
341 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
342 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
343 (hopefully) future versions.
344 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
345 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
347 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
349 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
350 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
351 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
352 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
353 Request-URI of the Request-Line
355 Refactoring / cleanups:
356 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
357 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
358 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
359 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
360 known issues with 5.8.3.
361 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
362 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
365 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
366 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
367 for the controller namespace
368 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
369 expand_component_module (rjbs)
370 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
371 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
372 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
373 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
375 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
376 frontend port (jshirley)
377 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
381 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
382 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
383 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
384 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
387 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
390 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
391 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
392 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
394 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
395 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
396 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
397 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
398 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
399 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
403 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
404 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
405 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
408 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
411 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
412 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
414 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
415 in some environments.
416 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
417 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
418 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
419 except works correctly with closures.
420 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
421 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
422 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
424 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
425 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
426 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
429 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
430 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
431 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
432 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
433 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
434 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
436 Refactoring / cleanups:
437 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
438 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
439 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
440 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
442 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
443 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
444 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
446 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
447 again in Catalyst::Test
449 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
452 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
453 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
456 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
459 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
460 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
461 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
463 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
466 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
467 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
470 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
471 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
475 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
476 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
477 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
478 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
479 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
481 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
482 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
483 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
484 controller naming. (random)
485 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
486 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
487 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
488 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
489 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
491 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
493 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
494 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
495 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
497 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
498 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
499 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
500 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
501 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
502 to report 'Unknown Error'
503 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
504 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
505 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
506 parse_on_demand is on
508 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
509 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
510 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
511 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
512 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
513 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
514 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
515 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
516 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
518 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
519 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
520 Test::Aggregate is available.
521 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
522 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
523 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
524 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
525 disabling functionality from base controllers.
526 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
527 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
528 incompatibility issues in some cases.
529 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
530 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
531 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
532 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
533 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
534 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
535 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
536 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
537 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
538 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
539 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
541 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
542 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
543 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
544 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
545 configuration in your application.
547 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
548 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
549 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
551 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
552 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
554 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
555 has been made private
556 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
557 the request parameters with undef + test
558 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
559 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
561 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
563 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
564 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
565 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
567 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
568 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
569 warning on recent Moose versions.
570 - Add delta documentation
571 - Clean up recursion errors
572 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
573 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
575 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
576 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
578 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
579 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
580 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
581 tries to chain to itself
583 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
584 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
585 - Tests for this (radek)
586 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
587 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
588 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
589 - Tests for this (radek)

595 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
596 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
598 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
600 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
601 in production versions
602 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
603 the correct metaclass
604 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
605 the restarter process
606 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
607 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
609 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
610 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
611 immutable restart correctly.

627 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
628 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
629 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
630 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
631 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
632 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
633 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
635 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
636 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
637 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
640 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

675 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
676 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

696 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server

723 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
724 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
725 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
726 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
