1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
7 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
8 certain tests. No other changes.
11 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
12 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
13 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
15 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
17 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
19 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
23 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
24 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
25 questions or problems!
26 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
27 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
28 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
29 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
30 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
31 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
32 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
33 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
34 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
37 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
38 - documentation and test fixes
41 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
42 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
43 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
44 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
45 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
46 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
47 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
50 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
51 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
54 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
55 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
56 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
57 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
58 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
59 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
60 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
61 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
63 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
66 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
67 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
70 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
71 introduced by a change in December.
74 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
77 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
78 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
79 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
80 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
81 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
84 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
85 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
86 reported while installing.
87 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
88 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
89 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
90 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
91 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
92 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
93 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
94 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
95 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
96 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
97 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
98 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
99 - update copyright notices.
101 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
102 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
103 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
104 fails to install (sorry).
105 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
106 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
107 middleware deal with it.
109 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
110 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
111 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
112 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
113 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
114 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
115 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
116 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
117 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
119 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
120 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
121 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
122 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
123 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
124 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
125 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
126 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
127 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
128 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
130 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
131 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
132 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
133 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
137 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
138 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
139 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
140 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
141 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
142 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
146 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
147 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
148 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
150 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
151 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
152 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
154 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
155 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
156 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
157 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
159 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
160 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
161 - Various POD formating fixed.
162 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
163 accept and issues that might arise.
166 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
167 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
170 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
171 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
172 for internal methods:
174 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
175 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
176 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
178 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
179 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
180 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
181 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
183 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
184 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
185 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
187 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
188 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
189 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
190 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
191 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
193 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
194 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
195 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
196 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
197 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
198 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
199 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
200 cases to reflect this change.
202 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
203 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
204 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
205 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
206 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
207 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
208 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
209 those keys already exist). Keys added:
210 - plack.request.query
212 - plack.request.merged
213 - plack.request.http.body
214 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
215 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
216 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
217 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
218 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
219 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
220 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
221 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
222 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
223 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
224 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
225 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
226 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
227 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
228 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
229 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
230 is a scalar or arrayref.
231 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
232 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
234 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
235 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
236 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
238 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
239 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
240 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
241 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
242 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
243 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
244 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
245 a development setup (ether++)
247 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
248 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
249 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
250 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
251 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
252 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
253 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
254 case t/data_handler.t
256 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
257 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
258 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
259 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
260 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
263 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
264 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
265 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
266 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
268 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
270 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
274 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
275 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
276 this fixes all of them.
277 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
278 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
279 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
280 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
282 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
285 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
286 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
287 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
288 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
289 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
290 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
291 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
293 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
294 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
295 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
296 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
297 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
298 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
300 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
301 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
302 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
303 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
304 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
305 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
306 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
307 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
309 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
312 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
313 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
314 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
315 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
316 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
317 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
319 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
320 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
321 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
322 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
323 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
324 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
327 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
328 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
329 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
330 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
331 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
332 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
333 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
334 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
335 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
336 in behavior is compatible on its own.
337 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
338 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
339 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
340 - Some test and documentation improvements
342 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
343 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
344 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
345 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
348 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
349 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
352 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
353 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
355 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
356 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
358 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
360 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
361 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
363 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
365 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
366 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
367 of request or response classes.
369 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
370 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
371 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
372 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
373 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
374 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
375 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
376 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
377 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
378 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
380 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
381 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
382 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
383 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
384 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
386 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
388 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
389 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
391 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
393 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
394 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
395 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
398 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
401 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
404 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
405 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
407 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
410 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
413 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
415 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
417 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
419 Distribution META.yml changes:
420 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
421 mis-parses from the documentation.
422 - x_authority key added.
425 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
426 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
428 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
429 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
430 is less than helpful.
432 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
433 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
434 in bleadperl. RT#76437
436 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
437 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
440 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
441 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
443 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
444 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
445 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
447 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
450 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
451 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
452 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
453 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
454 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
455 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
457 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
459 - --background option for the server script now only closes
460 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
461 and other loggers which open a file handle when
462 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
463 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
464 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
467 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
470 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
471 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
472 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
473 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
475 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
478 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
481 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
482 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
483 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
484 included when not running from a checkout.
486 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
488 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
489 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
490 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
492 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
494 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
496 New features and refactoring:
497 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
498 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
499 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
501 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
502 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
503 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
506 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
507 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
508 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
510 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
512 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
513 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
514 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
515 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
516 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
517 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
519 Back compatibility fixes:
520 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
521 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
522 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
525 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
528 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
529 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
530 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
532 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
533 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
534 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
536 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
539 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
540 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
541 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
542 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
543 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
546 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
547 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
549 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
550 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
551 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
553 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
556 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
557 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
558 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
559 get them passed through to the application.
562 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
563 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
564 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
565 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
568 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
569 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
570 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
571 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
573 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
574 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
575 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
577 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
578 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
580 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
584 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
585 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
586 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
587 whereas before you had to say:
588 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
589 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
590 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
593 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
594 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
595 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
596 scripts in the application.
597 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
598 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
599 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
604 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
606 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
607 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
608 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
609 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
610 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
611 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
612 and provide an alternative.
614 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
618 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
621 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
624 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
626 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
627 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
628 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
629 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
630 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
631 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
635 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
636 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
638 Backward compatibility fixes:
640 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
641 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
645 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
646 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
648 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
650 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
652 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
653 Backward compatibility fixes:
655 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
656 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
658 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
662 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
663 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
664 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
666 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
668 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
669 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
671 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
675 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
677 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
679 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
681 Backward compatibility fixes:
683 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
685 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
686 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
687 for backward compatibility.
691 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
692 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
696 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
697 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
698 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
700 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
702 Backward compatibility fixes:
704 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
705 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
709 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
712 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
713 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
714 example) Coro is loaded.
716 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
717 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
719 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
720 using MooseX::Deamonize
722 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
723 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
724 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
725 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
726 deployed in these environments.
730 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
734 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
735 file for your application.
737 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
741 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
742 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
744 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
747 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
748 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
750 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
752 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
753 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
755 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
756 IO::Handle's behaviour.
758 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
759 was not breaking out correctly
761 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
762 to also work in the $c->component method.
764 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
765 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
766 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
768 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
770 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
772 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
774 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
775 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
778 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
780 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
783 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
787 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
788 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
789 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
791 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
794 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
796 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
797 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
798 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
800 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
803 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
804 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
805 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
806 the new major version of Catalyst.
809 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
810 of Catalyst has been much improved.
812 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
815 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
816 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
817 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
819 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
821 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
822 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
823 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
825 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
828 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
829 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
830 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
832 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
833 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
837 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
838 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
840 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
841 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
842 developers without changing their application code.
844 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
847 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
848 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
849 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
850 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
851 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
853 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
854 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
856 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
858 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
862 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
863 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
864 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
865 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
866 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
867 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
868 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
870 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
871 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
872 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
873 class, please tell us *now*.
875 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
878 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
880 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
881 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
882 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
883 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
884 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
885 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
888 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
889 the Content-Length header appropriately)
890 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
891 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
892 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
893 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
894 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
895 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
897 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
898 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
899 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
900 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
901 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
902 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
903 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
904 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
907 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
908 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
910 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
913 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
914 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
918 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
919 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
921 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
924 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
926 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
927 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
929 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
931 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
934 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
936 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
939 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
940 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
941 load Utils before MyApp.pm
943 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
946 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
948 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
949 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
950 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
951 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
952 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
954 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
957 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
958 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
959 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
962 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
963 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
968 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
971 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
974 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
975 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
976 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
977 the default action creation.
980 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
981 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
982 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
983 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
984 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
985 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
986 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
989 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
991 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
993 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
995 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
998 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
999 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1000 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1001 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1002 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1005 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1006 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1009 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1010 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1011 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1012 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1014 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1017 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1018 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1019 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1020 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1021 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1022 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1023 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1024 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1027 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1028 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1029 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1031 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1032 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1033 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1034 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1037 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1038 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1041 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1042 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1045 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1048 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1049 the content type and content length if available.
1051 Refactoring / optimizations:
1052 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1053 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1054 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1055 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1056 screen as easy to write.
1057 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1058 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1059 in parameter filtering (for example).
1060 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1061 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1062 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1063 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1064 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1067 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1068 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1069 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1070 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1072 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1075 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1076 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1078 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1081 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1082 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1084 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1087 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1088 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1089 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1090 which should not be encoded.
1091 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1092 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1094 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1095 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1096 any set of args/captures.
1098 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1099 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1101 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1105 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1107 - Various minor typo fixes.
1110 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1112 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1115 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1116 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1117 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1120 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1121 - Clarify documentation about debug
1124 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1125 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1126 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1128 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1131 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1132 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1136 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1137 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1139 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1140 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1141 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1142 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1143 argv key in the options hash.
1144 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1145 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1146 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1147 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1149 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1153 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1154 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1155 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1156 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1157 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1159 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1163 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1164 encoding test controller.
1166 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1168 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1169 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1170 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1171 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1173 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1174 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1175 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1176 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1177 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1179 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1183 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1184 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1185 less packed with information of no use.
1189 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1191 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1193 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1194 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1195 the single character '0'.
1196 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1199 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1200 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1201 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1203 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1205 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1206 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1207 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1208 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1209 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1210 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1211 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1212 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1213 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1214 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1215 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1216 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1218 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1219 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1221 Refactoring / cleanups:
1222 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1223 (and then skipped) normally.
1226 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1228 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1231 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1232 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1233 on the old behaviour.
1235 Refactoring / cleanups:
1236 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1237 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1239 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1242 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1243 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1244 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1245 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1246 as there is no recommended alternative.
1247 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1248 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1249 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1250 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1251 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1252 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1253 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1254 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1255 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1256 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1257 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1258 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1259 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1260 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1263 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1264 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1265 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1266 deprecated and causes warnings).
1267 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1268 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1269 in the correct order.
1270 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1272 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1273 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1274 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1277 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1278 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1279 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1280 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1281 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1283 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1284 exception classes need to implement.
1285 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1286 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1289 Refactoring / cleanups:
1290 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1291 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1292 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1293 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1294 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1295 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1296 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1298 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1301 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1302 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1303 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1304 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1306 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1307 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1308 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1311 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1312 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1315 Refactoring / cleanups:
1316 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1317 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1318 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1319 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1320 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1322 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1325 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1326 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1327 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1328 now loaded at most once + tests.
1329 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1330 is returned to 'actions'.
1331 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1332 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1334 Refactoring / cleanups:
1335 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1336 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1339 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1340 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1341 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1343 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1346 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1347 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1350 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1353 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1354 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1355 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1357 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1360 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1361 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1362 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1364 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1367 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1368 application class immutable without that option.
1369 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1370 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1372 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1373 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1374 (hopefully) future versions.
1375 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1376 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1377 variables (RT#48555)
1378 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1380 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1381 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1382 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1383 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1384 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1386 Refactoring / cleanups:
1387 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1388 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1389 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1390 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1391 known issues with 5.8.3.
1392 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1393 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1396 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1397 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1398 for the controller namespace
1399 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1400 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1401 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1402 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1403 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1404 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1406 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1407 frontend port (jshirley)
1408 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1412 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1413 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1414 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1415 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1418 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1421 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1422 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1423 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1425 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1426 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1427 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1428 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1429 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1430 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1434 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1435 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1436 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1439 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1442 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1443 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1445 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1446 in some environments.
1447 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1448 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1449 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1450 except works correctly with closures.
1451 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1452 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1453 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1454 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1455 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1456 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1457 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1460 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1461 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1462 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1463 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1464 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1465 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1467 Refactoring / cleanups:
1468 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1469 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1470 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1471 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1473 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1474 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1475 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1477 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1478 again in Catalyst::Test
1480 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1483 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1484 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1487 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1490 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1491 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1492 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1494 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1497 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1498 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1501 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1502 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1506 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1507 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1508 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1509 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1510 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1512 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1513 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1514 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1515 controller naming. (random)
1516 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1517 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1518 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1519 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1520 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1522 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1525 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1526 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1528 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1529 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1530 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1531 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1532 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1533 to report 'Unknown Error'
1534 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1535 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1536 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1537 parse_on_demand is on
1539 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1540 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1541 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1542 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1543 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1544 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1545 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1546 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1547 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1549 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1550 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1551 Test::Aggregate is available.
1552 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1553 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1554 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1555 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1556 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1557 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1558 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1559 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1563 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1564 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1565 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1566 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1567 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1568 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1569 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1570 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1572 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1573 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1574 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1575 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1576 configuration in your application.
1578 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1579 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1580 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1582 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1583 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1585 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1586 has been made private
1587 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1588 the request parameters with undef + test
1589 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1590 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1592 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1594 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1595 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1596 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1598 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1599 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1600 warning on recent Moose versions.
1601 - Add delta documentation
1602 - Clean up recursion errors
1603 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1604 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1606 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1607 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1609 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1610 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1611 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1612 tries to chain to itself
1614 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1615 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1616 - Tests for this (radek)
1617 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1618 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1619 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1620 - Tests for this (radek)
1621 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1622 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1623 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1624 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1626 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1627 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1629 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1631 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1632 in production versions
1633 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1634 the correct metaclass
1635 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1636 the restarter process
1637 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1638 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1640 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1641 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1642 immutable restart correctly.
1644 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1645 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1646 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1647 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1648 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1649 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1650 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

1654 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1655 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1656 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1657 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1658 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1659 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1660 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1661 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1662 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1663 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1664 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1666 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1667 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1668 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1671 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1672 - Add uri_with tests

1685 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1686 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1687 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1690 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1699 keep-alive requests.
1700 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1701 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1702 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1703 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1705 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1706 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1707 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1708 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1709 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1710 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1711 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1712 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1713 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1714 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1715 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1716 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1717 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1718 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1719 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1720 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1721 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1722 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1723 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1724 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
