1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
5 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
6 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
7 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
8 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
9 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
10 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
11 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
12 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
13 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
14 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
15 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
17 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
18 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
20 Refactoring / cleanups:
21 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
22 (and then skipped) normally.
25 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
27 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
30 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
31 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
34 Refactoring / cleanups:
35 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
36 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
38 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
41 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
42 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
43 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
44 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
45 as there is no recommended alternative.
46 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
47 fallback for fully qualified component names.
48 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
49 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
50 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
51 startup, rather than with the first hit.
52 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
53 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
54 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
55 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
56 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
57 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
58 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
59 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
62 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
63 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
64 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
65 deprecated and causes warnings).
66 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
67 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
69 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
71 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
72 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
73 is deprecated (RT#51489)
76 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
77 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
78 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
79 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
80 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
82 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
83 exception classes need to implement.
84 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
85 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
88 Refactoring / cleanups:
89 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
90 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
91 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
92 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
93 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
94 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
95 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
97 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
100 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
101 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
102 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
103 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
105 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
106 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
107 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
110 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
111 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
114 Refactoring / cleanups:
115 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
116 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
117 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
118 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
119 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
121 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
124 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
125 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
126 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
127 now loaded at most once + tests.
128 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
129 is returned to 'actions'.
130 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
131 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
133 Refactoring / cleanups:
134 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
135 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
138 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
139 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
140 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
142 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
145 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
146 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
149 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
152 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
153 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
154 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
156 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
159 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
160 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
161 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
163 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
166 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
167 application class immutable without that option.
168 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
169 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
171 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
172 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
173 (hopefully) future versions.
174 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
175 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
177 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
179 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
180 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
181 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
182 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
183 Request-URI of the Request-Line
185 Refactoring / cleanups:
186 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
187 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
188 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
189 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
190 known issues with 5.8.3.
191 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
192 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
195 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
196 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
197 for the controller namespace
198 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
199 expand_component_module (rjbs)
200 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
201 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
202 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
203 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
205 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
206 frontend port (jshirley)
207 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
211 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
212 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
213 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
214 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
217 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
220 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
221 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
222 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
224 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
225 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
226 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
227 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
228 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
229 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
233 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
234 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
235 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
238 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
241 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
242 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
244 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
245 in some environments.
246 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
247 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
248 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
249 except works correctly with closures.
250 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
251 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
252 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
254 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
255 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
256 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
259 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
260 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
261 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
262 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
263 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
264 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
266 Refactoring / cleanups:
267 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
268 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
269 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
270 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
272 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
273 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
274 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
276 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
277 again in Catalyst::Test
279 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
282 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
283 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
286 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
289 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
290 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
291 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
293 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
296 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
297 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
300 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
301 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
305 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
306 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
307 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
308 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
309 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
311 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
312 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
313 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
314 controller naming. (random)

316 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
317 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
318 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
319 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
321 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
323 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
324 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
325 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
327 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
328 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
329 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
330 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
331 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
332 to report 'Unknown Error'
333 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
334 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
335 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
336 parse_on_demand is on

345 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
346 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
348 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
349 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
350 Test::Aggregate is available.
351 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
352 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
353 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

363 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
364 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
365 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
366 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
367 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
368 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
369 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
371 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
372 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
373 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
374 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
375 configuration in your application.
377 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
378 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
379 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
381 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
382 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
384 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
385 has been made private
386 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
387 the request parameters with undef + test
388 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
389 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
391 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
393 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
394 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
395 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
397 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
398 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
399 warning on recent Moose versions.
400 - Add delta documentation
401 - Clean up recursion errors
402 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
403 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
405 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
406 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
408 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
409 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
410 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
411 tries to chain to itself
413 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
414 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
415 - Tests for this (radek)
416 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
417 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
418 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
419 - Tests for this (radek)
420 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
421 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
422 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
423 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
425 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
426 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
428 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
430 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
431 in production versions
432 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
433 the correct metaclass
434 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
435 the restarter process
436 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
437 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
439 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
440 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
441 immutable restart correctly.
443 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
444 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
445 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
446 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

457 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
458 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
459 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
460 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
461 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
462 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
463 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
465 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
466 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
467 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
470 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
473 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

500 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
501 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
502 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
504 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
505 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
506 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
507 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
508 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
509 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
510 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
511 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
512 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
513 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast

515 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
516 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
518 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
519 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
520 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
521 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
522 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
523 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
525 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
526 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
528 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
529 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
530 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
532 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
533 test sync for engines easier
534 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
535 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
537 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
538 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
539 rather than the stringified ref.
540 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
541 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
542 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
543 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
544 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
546 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
547 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
548 die, as it didn't in 5.70
550 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
551 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
552 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
553 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
554 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
555 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
556 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
557 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
558 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
559 the key from the instance hash
560 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
561 trivial delegation methods
562 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
563 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
564 Catalyst::Engine::CGI: _header_buf
565 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP: options, _keepalive, _write_error
566 Catalyst::Request: _path
