11 - bump Moose prereq to 2.1400, and drop MooseX::Role::WithOverloading prereq
12 - stop warning about missing Term::Size::Any when it isn't useful
15 - fix for broken distribution
18 - Support samesite flag for cookies (mitchjacksontech++)
19 - utility method on Catalyst::Action 'equals'
20 - new predicate methods 'has_request' and 'has_response'. Useful in
21 plugins that might run bits before a request is finalized.
24 - Fix problem with from_psgi_response and streaming applications (
25 https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/168).
28 - Fix emitting warnings when REMOTE_ADDR is undefined (RT#113388)
29 - Fix $c->req->hostname empty for IPv6 clients (RT#75731)
30 - split code to log stats report into a separate log_stats method (RT#127392)
36 - use the :utf8_strict (PerlIO::utf8_strict) rather than :encoding file handle
37 layer to handle decoding uploads, as a performance boost.
38 - fix handling of decoding uploaded files. this fixes the usage of sysread
39 on :utf8 handles, and reenables the tests on all perl versions. Fixes CPAN
40 RT#125843. See also erl RT#133585.
41 - giving incorrect types to uri_for will warn to logs rather than via carp
42 - silence warning and error output from tests
45 - avoid problematic test using sysread() on :utf8 filehandles on dev perl
46 versions where this is fatal (starting with 5.29.4). see RT#125843.
49 - fix test for changes in MooseX::Getopt 0.73 (RT#127050)
52 - fix handling of fragments in uri_for when path is an unblessed string (GH#160)

58 - use JSON for test metadata to avoid needing YAML
59 - use JSON::MaybeXS consistently in code
60 - drop unused prereq of HTTP::Request::AsCGI
61 - drop unneeded prereq of Class::Data::Inheritable
62 - fix tests to cope with changes in new versions of Time::HiRes
63 - POD typo and syntax fixes
66 - Fixed errors in distribution packaging
69 - Switch from Module::Install to Distar (solves problems that MI has with newer Perl) haarg++
70 - Killed Test::Aggregate since its clearly doomed
71 - PR135 - improved test cases for query keywork
72 - PR158 - improved docs for Catalyst::Test
73 - PR157 - improved error response for data_handlers
75 - PR154 - Few dependencies
76 - PR152 - Better support for HTTP Patch
79 - fixes for silent bad behavior in Catalyst::ScriptRole and 'ensure_class_loaded'
81 - do not require MXRWO if Moose is new enough to have cored it (ether++)
82 - documentation improvements (ether++)
83 - Encoding documentation improvements (colinnewell++)
84 - Improve documentation and test cases for 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' configuration
86 - Better debug output when using Hash::MultiValue (tremor69++)
87 - Fixes for detecting debug terminal size (simonamor++)
90 - Fixed regression introduced in the last version (5.90113) which caused
91 application to hang when the action private name contained a string
92 like 'foo/bar..html'. If you are running 5.90113 you should consider this
94 - Tweaked travis CI script.
97 - Fixed issue with $controller->action_for when targeting an action in
98 a namespace nested inside the current controller and the current controller
99 is a 'root' controller.
100 - Enhanced $controller->action_for so that you can reference the 'parent'
101 controller via relative path (eg ->action_for('../foo')).
102 - Backcompat fix for people that made the mistake of doing $c->{stash}
103 - Sort controllers in setup_actions so cross-controller precedence is
107 - Spelling fixes from Debian group.
108 - Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
109 if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
112 - Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
115 - Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
116 override many core method.
117 - Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
118 - We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
119 check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
120 the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
121 ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
122 setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
123 - Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
124 longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
125 global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
128 - Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
129 actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
130 - Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
131 - Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
132 in some configurations.
135 - Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
136 - Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
137 that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
138 a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
139 - Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
140 now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
141 is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
142 the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
143 - Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
144 finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
145 this error message a bit to help people understand it.
148 - Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
149 in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
150 improve reporting details.
151 - Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
152 wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
155 - More documentation fixes (thanks to the debian maintainers and melmothx++)
156 - Fixed the way we parse subroutine attribute values to fix a regression
157 introduced in 5.90102. This is a recommended upgrade (tsibley++, mst++)
158 - Fixed regression around auto actions that escape by throwing an exception
159 which was introduced in the last release.
160 - Bumped namespace::autoclean dep to latest since tests require -except
163 - Better warnings when there's an error reading the psgi.input (billmosley++)
164 - Fixed spurious warnings in uri_for when using no arguments (melmothx++ and
166 - Documentation improvements (paultcochrane++)
167 - Improvements to 'search_extra' configuration and tests around using
168 uri_for as a class method (cngarrison++)
169 - Fix when Path() is set and not geting registered as action (grim8634++)
170 - $c->state is now preserved over actions in a chain, and across begin,
171 auto, ->forward and ->detach.
174 - Fixed a regression introduced in the last release which caused test
175 case failure when using a version of Perl 5.14 or older.
178 - Document using namespace::autoclean with controllers that have actions
179 with type constraints.
180 - Look for type constraints in super classes and consumed roles.
181 - Change the way the stash middleware works to no longer localize $psgi_env.
182 - If you delegate control to a sub Catalyst application, that application
183 may now return information to the parent application via the stash.
184 - Fix for RT#106373 (Issue when you try to install and also have an old
185 version of Test::Mechanize::WWW::Catalyst)
188 - $c->uri_for now defines a final argument for setting the URL fragment
189 /URL anchor. This is now the canonical approach to setting a fragment
191 - Reverted how we treat $c->uri_for($path) where $path is a string. When
192 we introduced the UTF-8 work we started encoding stringy paths, which
193 breaks code that did not expect that. We now consider stringy $path to
194 be 'expert' mode and you are expected to perform all nessary encoding.
197 - Fixed regression introduced in previous release that prevented a URI
198 fragment from getting properly encoded. Added more tests around this
199 to define behavior better.
202 - Minor test case tweak that I hope solve some minor hiesenfails reported
204 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/109) added som
205 additional directions to how to setup a development sandbox
206 - (https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/108) fix bug in
207 encoding where URI fragment seperator '#' in ->uri_for would get encoded.
210 - When there is a multipart POST request and the parts have extended
211 HTTP headers, try harder to decode and squeeze a meaningful value
212 out of it before giving up and crying. Updated docs and tests to
213 reflect this change. This should solve problems when your clients
214 are posting multipart form values with special character sets.
215 - Fixed issue where last_error actually returned the first error. Took
216 the change to add a 'pop_errors' to give the inverse of shift_errors.
217 - Merged Pull Requests:
218 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/95
219 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/96
220 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/97
221 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/98
222 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/106
223 - https://github.com/perl-catalyst/catalyst-runtime/pull/107
226 - Fixed a bug where if you used $res->write and then $res->body, the
227 contents of body would be double encoded (gshank++).
230 - Allows you to use a namespace suffix for request, response and stats
231 class traits. Docs and tests for this.
232 - Refactor the change introduced in 5.90091 to solve reported issues (for
233 example Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API fails its tests) and to be a more
234 conservative refactor (new code more closely resembles the orginal code
235 that has proven to work for years.)
238 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
239 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
240 even though they were actually created).
243 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
244 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
245 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
246 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
247 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
249 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
250 - Added swanky github badges.
251 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
252 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
253 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
254 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
257 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
258 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
259 raise an error when registering its actions.
260 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
261 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
262 the injection and do custom injection types.
264 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
265 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
266 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
268 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
269 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
270 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
271 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
273 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
274 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
275 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
276 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
277 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
278 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
279 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
280 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
281 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
282 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
284 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
285 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
286 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
287 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
288 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
289 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
290 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
291 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
293 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
294 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
295 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
296 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
297 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
298 stand alone classes...).
299 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
300 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
301 report any stats related issues.
302 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
303 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
304 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
305 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
306 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
307 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
308 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
310 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
311 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
312 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
313 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
315 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
316 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
317 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
318 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
319 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
320 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
323 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
324 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
325 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
326 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
327 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
328 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
329 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
330 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
331 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
332 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
333 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
334 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
337 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
338 trying to create parameters twice.
339 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
340 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
341 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
342 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
343 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
344 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
345 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
346 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
347 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
348 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
349 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
352 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
353 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
354 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
355 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
356 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
357 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
360 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
361 to prevent it happening again.
364 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
365 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
366 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
367 test case to prevent regressions.
370 - Minor documentation corrections
371 - Make the '79 development series stable
373 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
374 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
375 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
376 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
377 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
379 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
380 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
381 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
382 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
383 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
384 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
385 changes introduced in v5.90080.
387 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
388 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
389 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
390 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
391 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
392 note posted a few months ago.
393 - Added my name to the contributors list
395 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
396 - Merged changes from 5.90078
397 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
398 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
399 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
400 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
401 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
402 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
403 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
404 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
405 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
406 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
407 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
409 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
410 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
411 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
413 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
414 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
415 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
416 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
417 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
418 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
419 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
420 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
421 has already been called (and headers already sent).
422 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
423 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
425 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
426 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
427 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
429 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
430 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
433 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
434 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
435 existing Plack conventions.
436 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
437 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
438 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
439 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
440 don't bubble back up to the main application.
441 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
442 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
443 I highly suggest you test this release.
444 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
445 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
446 correct if incorrect :)
447 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
448 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
449 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
450 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
451 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
452 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
453 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
454 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
455 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
457 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
458 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
459 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
461 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
462 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
463 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
464 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
468 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
470 - updated year in copyright notices
473 - POD corrections (sergey++)
474 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
475 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
476 trouble. (davewood++);
477 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
478 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
479 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
482 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
483 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
484 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
485 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
486 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
489 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
490 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
491 HTTP Exception middleware.
494 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
495 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
496 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
497 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
498 you really need to review this exploit.
501 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
504 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
505 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
506 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
507 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
509 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
512 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
513 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
514 so you can go to hunt it out.
517 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
518 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
519 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
520 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
521 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
522 - Added Italian translation of default error.
525 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
528 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
529 certain tests. No other changes.
532 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
533 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
534 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
536 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
538 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
540 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
544 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
545 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
546 questions or problems!
547 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
548 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
549 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
550 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
551 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
552 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
553 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
554 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
555 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
558 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
559 - documentation and test fixes
562 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
563 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
564 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
565 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
566 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
567 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
568 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
571 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
572 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
575 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
576 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
577 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
578 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
579 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
580 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
581 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
582 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
584 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
587 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
588 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
591 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
592 introduced by a change in December.
595 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
598 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
599 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
600 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
601 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
602 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
605 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
606 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
607 reported while installing.
608 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
609 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
610 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
611 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
612 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
613 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
614 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
615 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
616 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
617 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
618 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
619 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
620 - update copyright notices.
622 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
623 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
624 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
625 fails to install (sorry).
626 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
627 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
628 middleware deal with it.
630 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
631 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
632 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
633 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
634 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
635 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
636 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
637 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
638 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
640 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
641 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
642 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
643 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
644 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
645 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
646 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
647 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
648 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
649 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
651 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
652 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
653 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
654 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
658 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
659 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
660 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
661 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
662 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
663 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
667 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
668 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
669 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
671 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
672 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
673 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
675 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
676 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
677 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
678 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
680 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
681 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
682 - Various POD formatting fixed.
683 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
684 accept and issues that might arise.
687 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
688 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
691 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
692 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
693 for internal methods:
695 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
696 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
697 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
699 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
700 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
701 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
702 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
704 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
705 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
706 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
708 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
709 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
710 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
711 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
712 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
714 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
715 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
716 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
717 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
718 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
719 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
720 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
721 cases to reflect this change.
723 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
724 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
725 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
726 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
727 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
728 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
729 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
730 those keys already exist). Keys added:
731 - plack.request.query
733 - plack.request.merged
734 - plack.request.http.body
735 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
736 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
737 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
738 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
739 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
740 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
741 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
742 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
743 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
744 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
745 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
746 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
747 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
748 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
749 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
750 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
751 is a scalar or arrayref.
752 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
753 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
755 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
756 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
757 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
759 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
760 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
761 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
762 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
763 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
764 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
765 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
766 a development setup (ether++)
768 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
769 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
770 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
771 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
772 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
773 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
774 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
775 case t/data_handler.t
777 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
778 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
779 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
780 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
781 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
784 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
785 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
786 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
787 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
789 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
791 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
795 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
796 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
797 this fixes all of them.
798 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
799 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
800 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
801 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
803 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
806 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
807 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
808 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
809 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
810 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
811 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
812 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
814 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
815 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
816 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
817 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
818 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
819 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
821 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
822 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
823 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
824 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
825 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
826 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
827 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
828 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
830 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
833 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
834 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
835 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
836 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
837 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
838 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
840 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
841 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
842 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
843 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
844 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
845 - smarter validation around action attributes.
848 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
849 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
850 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
851 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
852 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
853 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
854 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
855 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
856 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
857 in behavior is compatible on its own.
858 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
859 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
860 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
861 - Some test and documentation improvements
863 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
864 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
865 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
866 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
869 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
870 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
873 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
874 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
876 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
877 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
879 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
881 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
882 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
884 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
886 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
887 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
888 of request or response classes.
890 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
891 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
892 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
893 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
894 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
895 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
896 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
897 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
898 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
899 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
901 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
902 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
903 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
904 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
905 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
907 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
909 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
910 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
912 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
914 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
915 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
916 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
919 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
922 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
925 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
926 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
928 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
931 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
934 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
936 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
938 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
940 Distribution META.yml changes:
941 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
942 mis-parses from the documentation.
943 - x_authority key added.
946 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
947 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
949 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
950 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
951 is less than helpful.
953 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
954 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
955 in bleadperl. RT#76437
957 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
958 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
961 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
962 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
964 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
965 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
966 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
968 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
971 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
972 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
973 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
974 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
975 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
976 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
978 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
980 - --background option for the server script now only closes
981 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
982 and other loggers which open a file handle when
983 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
984 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
985 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
988 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
991 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
992 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
993 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
994 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
996 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
999 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
1002 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
1003 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
1004 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
1005 included when not running from a checkout.
1007 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
1009 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
1010 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
1011 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
1013 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
1015 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
1017 New features and refactoring:
1018 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
1019 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
1020 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
1022 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
1023 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
1024 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
1027 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
1028 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
1029 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
1031 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
1033 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
1034 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
1035 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
1036 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
1037 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
1038 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
1040 Back compatibility fixes:
1041 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
1042 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
1043 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
1046 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
1049 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
1050 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
1051 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
1053 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
1054 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
1055 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
1057 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
1060 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
1061 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
1062 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
1063 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
1064 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
1067 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
1068 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
1070 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
1071 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
1072 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
1074 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
1077 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
1078 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
1079 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
1080 get them passed through to the application.
1083 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
1084 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
1085 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
1086 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
1089 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
1090 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
1091 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
1092 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
1094 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
1095 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
1096 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
1098 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
1099 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
1101 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
1105 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
1106 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
1107 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
1108 whereas before you had to say:
1109 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
1110 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
1111 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
1114 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
1115 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
1116 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
1117 scripts in the application.
1118 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
1119 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
1120 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
1125 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
1127 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
1128 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
1129 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
1130 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
1131 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
1132 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
1133 and provide an alternative.
1135 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
1139 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
1140 MyApp->engine_class.
1142 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
1145 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
1147 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
1148 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
1149 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
1150 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
1151 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
1152 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
1156 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
1157 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
1159 Backward compatibility fixes:
1161 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
1162 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
1164 Documentation fixes:
1166 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
1167 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
1169 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
1171 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
1173 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
1174 Backward compatibility fixes:
1176 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
1177 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
1179 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
1181 Documentation fixes:
1183 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
1184 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
1185 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
1187 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
1189 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
1190 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
1192 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
1194 Cut another release.
1196 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
1198 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
1200 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
1202 Backward compatibility fixes:
1204 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
1206 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
1207 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
1208 for backward compatibility.
1212 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
1213 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
1217 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
1218 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
1219 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
1221 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
1223 Backward compatibility fixes:
1225 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
1226 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
1230 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
1231 been made immutable.
1233 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1234 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1235 example) Coro is loaded.
1237 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1238 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1240 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1241 using MooseX::Deamonize
1243 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1244 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1245 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1246 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1247 deployed in these environments.
1251 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1255 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1256 file for your application.
1258 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1262 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1263 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1265 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1268 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1269 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1271 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1273 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1274 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1276 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1277 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1279 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1280 was not breaking out correctly
1282 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1283 to also work in the $c->component method.
1285 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1286 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1287 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1289 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1291 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1293 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1295 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1296 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1299 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1301 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1304 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1305 not being installed.
1308 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1309 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1310 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1312 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1315 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1317 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1318 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1319 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1321 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1324 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1325 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1326 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1327 the new major version of Catalyst.
1330 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1331 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1333 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1336 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1337 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1338 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1340 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1342 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1343 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1344 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1346 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1347 in Catalyst::execute
1349 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1350 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1351 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1353 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1354 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1358 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1359 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1361 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1362 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1363 developers without changing their application code.
1365 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1368 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1369 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1370 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1371 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1372 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1374 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1375 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1377 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1379 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1383 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1384 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1385 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1386 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1387 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1388 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1389 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1391 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1392 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1393 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1394 class, please tell us *now*.
1396 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1399 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1401 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1402 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1403 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1404 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1405 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1406 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1409 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1410 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1411 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1412 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1413 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1414 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1415 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1416 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1418 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1419 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1420 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1421 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1422 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1423 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1424 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1425 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1428 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1429 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1431 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1434 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1435 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1439 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1440 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1442 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1445 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1447 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1448 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1450 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1452 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1455 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1457 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1460 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1461 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1462 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1464 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1467 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1469 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1470 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1471 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1472 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1473 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1475 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1478 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1479 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1480 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1483 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1484 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1489 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1492 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1495 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1496 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1497 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1498 the default action creation.
1501 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1502 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1503 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1504 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1505 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1506 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1507 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1510 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1512 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1514 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1516 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1519 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1520 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1521 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1522 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1523 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1526 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1527 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1530 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1531 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1532 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1533 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1535 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1538 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1539 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1540 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1541 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1542 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1543 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1544 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1545 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1548 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1549 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1550 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1552 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1553 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1554 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1555 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1558 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1559 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1562 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1563 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1566 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1569 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1570 the content type and content length if available.
1572 Refactoring / optimizations:
1573 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1574 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1575 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1576 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1577 screen as easy to write.
1578 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1579 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1580 in parameter filtering (for example).
1581 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1582 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1583 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1584 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1585 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1588 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1589 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1590 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1591 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1593 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1596 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1597 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1599 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1602 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1603 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1605 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1608 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1609 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1610 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1611 which should not be encoded.
1612 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1613 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1615 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1616 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1617 any set of args/captures.
1619 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1620 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1622 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1626 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1628 - Various minor typo fixes.
1631 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1633 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1636 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1637 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1638 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1641 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1642 - Clarify documentation about debug
1645 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1646 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1647 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1649 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1652 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1653 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1657 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1658 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1660 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1661 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1662 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1663 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1664 argv key in the options hash.
1665 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1666 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1667 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1668 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1670 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1674 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1675 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1676 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1677 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1678 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1680 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1684 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1685 encoding test controller.
1687 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1689 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1690 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1691 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1692 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1694 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1695 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1696 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1697 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1698 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1700 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1704 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1705 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1706 less packed with information of no use.
1710 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1712 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1714 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1715 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1716 the single character '0'.
1717 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1720 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1721 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1722 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1724 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1726 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1727 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1728 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1729 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1730 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1731 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1732 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1733 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1734 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1735 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1736 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1737 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1739 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1740 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1742 Refactoring / cleanups:
1743 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1744 (and then skipped) normally.
1747 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1749 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1752 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1753 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1754 on the old behaviour.
1756 Refactoring / cleanups:
1757 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1758 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1760 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1763 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1764 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1765 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1766 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1767 as there is no recommended alternative.
1768 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1769 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1770 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1771 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1772 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1773 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1774 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1775 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1776 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1777 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1778 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1779 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1780 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1781 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1784 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1785 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1786 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1787 deprecated and causes warnings).
1788 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1789 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1790 in the correct order.
1791 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1793 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1794 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1795 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1798 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1799 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1800 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1801 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1802 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1804 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1805 exception classes need to implement.
1806 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1807 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1810 Refactoring / cleanups:
1811 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1812 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1813 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1814 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1815 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1816 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1817 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1819 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1822 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1823 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1824 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1825 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1827 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1828 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1829 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1832 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1833 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1836 Refactoring / cleanups:
1837 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1838 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1839 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1840 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1841 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1843 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1846 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1847 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1848 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1849 now loaded at most once + tests.
1850 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1851 is returned to 'actions'.
1852 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1853 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1855 Refactoring / cleanups:
1856 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1857 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1860 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1861 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1862 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1864 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1867 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1868 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1871 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1874 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1875 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1876 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1878 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1881 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1882 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1883 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1885 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1888 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1889 application class immutable without that option.
1890 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1891 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1893 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1894 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1895 (hopefully) future versions.
1896 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1897 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1898 variables (RT#48555)
1899 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1901 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1902 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1903 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1904 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1905 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1907 Refactoring / cleanups:
1908 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1909 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1910 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1911 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1912 known issues with 5.8.3.
1913 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1914 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1917 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1918 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1919 for the controller namespace
1920 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1921 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1922 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1923 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1924 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1925 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1927 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1928 frontend port (jshirley)
1929 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1933 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1934 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1935 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1936 - Fix POD referring to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1939 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1942 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1943 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1944 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1946 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1947 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1948 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1949 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1950 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1951 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1955 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1956 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1957 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1960 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1963 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1964 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1966 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1967 in some environments.
1968 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1969 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1970 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1971 except works correctly with closures.
1972 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1973 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1974 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1975 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1976 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1977 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1978 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1981 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1982 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1983 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1984 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1985 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1986 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1988 Refactoring / cleanups:
1989 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1990 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1991 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1992 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1994 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1995 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1996 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1998 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1999 again in Catalyst::Test
2001 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
2004 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
2005 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
2008 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
2011 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
2012 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
2013 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
2015 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
2018 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
2019 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
2022 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
2023 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
2027 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
2028 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
2029 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
2030 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
2031 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
2033 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
2034 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyst::Controller to
2035 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
2036 controller naming. (random)
2037 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
2038 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
2039 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
2040 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
2041 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
2043 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
2045 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
2046 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
2047 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
2049 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
2050 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
2051 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
2052 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
2053 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
2054 to report 'Unknown Error'
2055 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
2056 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
2057 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
2058 parse_on_demand is on
2060 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
2061 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
2062 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
2063 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
2064 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from

2067 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
2068 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
2070 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
2071 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
2072 Test::Aggregate is available.
2073 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
2074 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
2075 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
2076 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
2077 disabling functionality from base controllers.
2078 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
2079 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
2080 incompatibility issues in some cases.

2085 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
2086 - Partial rewrite and reorganization of the C3 docs in
2087 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
2088 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
2089 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
2090 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
2091 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
2093 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
2094 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
2095 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
2096 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
2097 configuration in your application.
2099 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
2100 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
2101 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
2103 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
2104 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
2106 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
2107 has been made private
2108 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
2109 the request parameters with undef + test
2110 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
2111 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
2113 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
2115 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
2116 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
2117 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
2119 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
2120 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
2121 warning on recent Moose versions.
2122 - Add delta documentation
2123 - Clean up recursion errors
2124 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
2125 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
2127 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
2128 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
2130 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
2131 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
2132 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
2133 tries to chain to itself
2135 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
2136 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
2137 - Tests for this (radek)
2138 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
2139 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
2140 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
2141 - Tests for this (radek)
2142 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
2143 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
2144 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
2145 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
2147 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
2148 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
2150 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
2152 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
2153 in production versions
2154 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
2155 the correct metaclass
2156 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
2157 the restarter process
2158 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
2159 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
2161 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
2162 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
2163 immutable restart correctly.
2165 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
2166 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
2167 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
2168 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
2169 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
2170 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
2171 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

2173 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
2174 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
2175 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
2176 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
2177 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
2178 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
2179 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
2180 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
2181 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
2182 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
2183 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
2184 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
2185 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
2187 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
2188 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
2189 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
2192 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
2193 - Add uri_with tests

2204 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
2206 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
2207 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
2208 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
2211 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

2218 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
2219 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
2220 keep-alive requests.
2221 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
2222 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
2223 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
2224 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
2226 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
2227 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
2228 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
