1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
5 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
6 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
7 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
8 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
10 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
13 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
15 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
16 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
17 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
18 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
19 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
20 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
23 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
24 the Content-Length header appropriately)
25 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
26 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
27 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
28 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
29 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
30 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
32 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
33 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
34 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
35 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
36 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
37 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
38 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
39 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
42 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
43 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
45 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
48 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
49 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
53 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
54 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
56 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
59 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
61 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
62 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
64 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
66 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
69 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
71 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
74 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
75 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
76 load Utils before MyApp.pm
78 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
81 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
83 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
84 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
85 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
86 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
87 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
89 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
92 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
93 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
94 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
97 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
98 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
103 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
106 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
109 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
110 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
111 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
112 the default action creation.
115 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
116 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
117 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
118 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
119 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
120 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
121 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
124 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
126 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
128 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
130 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
133 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
134 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
135 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
136 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
137 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
140 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
141 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
144 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
145 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
146 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
147 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
149 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
152 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
153 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
154 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
155 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
156 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
157 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
158 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
159 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
162 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
163 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
164 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
166 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
167 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
168 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
169 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
172 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
173 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
176 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
177 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
180 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
183 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
184 the content type and content length if available.
186 Refactoring / optimizations:
187 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
188 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
189 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
190 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
191 screen as easy to write.
192 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
193 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
194 in parameter filtering (for example).
195 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
196 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
197 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
198 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
199 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
202 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
203 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
204 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
205 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
207 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
210 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
211 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
213 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
216 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
217 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
219 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
222 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
223 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
224 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
225 which should not be encoded.
226 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
227 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
229 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
230 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
231 any set of args/captures.
233 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
234 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
236 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
240 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
242 - Various minor typo fixes.
245 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
247 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
250 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
251 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
252 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
255 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
256 - Clarify documentation about debug
259 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
260 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
261 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
263 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
266 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
267 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
271 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
272 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
274 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
275 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
276 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
277 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
278 argv key in the options hash.
279 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
280 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
281 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
282 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
284 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
288 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
289 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
290 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
291 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
292 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
294 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
298 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
299 encoding test controller.
301 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
303 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
304 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
305 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
306 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
308 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
309 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
310 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
311 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
312 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
314 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
318 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
319 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
320 less packed with information of no use.
324 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
326 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
328 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
329 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
330 the single character '0'.
331 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
334 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
335 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
336 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
338 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
340 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
341 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
342 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
343 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
344 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
345 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
346 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
347 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
348 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
349 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
350 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
351 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
353 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
354 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
356 Refactoring / cleanups:
357 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
358 (and then skipped) normally.
361 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
363 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
366 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
367 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
368 on the old behaviour.
370 Refactoring / cleanups:
371 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
372 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
374 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
377 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
378 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
379 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
380 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
381 as there is no recommended alternative.
382 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
383 fallback for fully qualified component names.
384 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
385 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
386 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
387 startup, rather than with the first hit.
388 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
389 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
390 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
391 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
392 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
393 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
394 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
395 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
398 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
399 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
400 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
401 deprecated and causes warnings).
402 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
403 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
404 in the correct order.
405 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
407 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
408 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
409 is deprecated (RT#51489)
412 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
413 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
414 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
415 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
416 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
418 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
419 exception classes need to implement.
420 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
421 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
424 Refactoring / cleanups:
425 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
426 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
427 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
428 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
429 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
430 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
431 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
433 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
436 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
437 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
438 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
439 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
441 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
442 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
443 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
446 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
447 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
450 Refactoring / cleanups:
451 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
452 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
453 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
454 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
455 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
457 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
460 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
461 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
462 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
463 now loaded at most once + tests.
464 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
465 is returned to 'actions'.
466 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
467 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
469 Refactoring / cleanups:
470 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
471 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
474 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
475 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
476 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
478 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
481 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
482 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
485 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
488 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
489 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
490 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
492 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
495 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
496 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
497 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
499 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
502 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
503 application class immutable without that option.
504 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
505 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
507 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
508 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
509 (hopefully) future versions.
510 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
511 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
513 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
515 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
516 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
517 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
518 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
519 Request-URI of the Request-Line
521 Refactoring / cleanups:
522 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
523 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
524 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
525 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
526 known issues with 5.8.3.
527 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
528 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
531 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
532 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
533 for the controller namespace
534 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
535 expand_component_module (rjbs)
536 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
537 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
538 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
539 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
541 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
542 frontend port (jshirley)
543 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
547 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
548 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
549 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
550 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
553 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
556 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
557 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
558 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
560 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
561 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
562 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
563 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
564 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
565 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
569 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
570 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
571 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
574 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
577 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
578 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
580 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
581 in some environments.
582 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
583 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
584 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
585 except works correctly with closures.
586 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
587 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
588 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
590 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
591 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
592 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
595 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
596 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
597 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
598 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
599 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
600 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
602 Refactoring / cleanups:
603 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
604 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
605 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
606 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
608 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.

629 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
632 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
633 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
636 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
637 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
641 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

714 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
715 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

745 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
746 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
747 tries to chain to itself
749 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
750 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
751 - Tests for this (radek)

771 the restarter process
772 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
773 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
775 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
776 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
777 immutable restart correctly.

796 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
797 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
798 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
799 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
801 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
802 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
803 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

889 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
890 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler

1063 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1064 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
