1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
5 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
6 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
9 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
10 - Change Catalsyt _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
12 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
13 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
15 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
17 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
18 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
20 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
22 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
23 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
24 of request or response classes.
26 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
27 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
28 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
29 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
30 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
31 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
32 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
33 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
34 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
35 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
37 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
38 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
39 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
40 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
41 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
43 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
45 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
46 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
48 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
50 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
51 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
52 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
55 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
58 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
61 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
62 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
64 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
67 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
70 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
72 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
74 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
76 Distribution META.yml changes:
77 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
78 mis-parses from the documentation.
79 - x_authority key added.
82 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
83 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
85 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
86 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
89 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
90 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
91 in bleadperl. RT#76437
93 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
94 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
97 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
98 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
100 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
101 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
102 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
104 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
107 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
108 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
109 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
110 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
111 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
112 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
114 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
116 - --background option for the server script now only closes
117 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
118 and other loggers which open a file handle when
119 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
120 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
121 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
124 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
127 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
128 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
129 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
130 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
132 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
135 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
138 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
139 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
140 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
141 included when not running from a checkout.
143 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
145 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
146 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
147 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
149 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
151 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
153 New features and refactoring:
154 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
155 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
156 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
158 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
159 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
160 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
163 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
164 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
165 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
167 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
169 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
170 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
171 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
172 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
173 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
174 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
176 Back compatibility fixes:
177 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
178 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
179 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
182 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
185 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
186 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
187 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
189 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
190 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
191 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
193 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
196 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
197 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
198 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
199 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
200 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
203 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
204 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
206 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
207 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
208 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
210 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
213 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
214 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
215 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
216 get them passed through to the application.
219 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
220 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
221 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
222 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
225 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
226 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
227 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
228 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
230 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
231 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
232 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
234 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
235 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
237 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
241 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
242 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
243 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
244 whereas before you had to say:
245 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
246 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
247 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
250 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
251 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
252 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
253 scripts in the application.
254 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
255 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
256 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
261 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
263 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
264 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
265 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
266 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
267 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
268 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
269 and provide an alternative.
271 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
275 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
278 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
281 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
283 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
284 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
285 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
286 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
287 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
288 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
292 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
293 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
295 Backward compatibility fixes:
297 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
298 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
302 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
303 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
305 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
307 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
309 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
310 Backward compatibility fixes:
312 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
313 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
315 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
319 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
320 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
321 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
323 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
325 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
326 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
328 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
332 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
334 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
336 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
338 Backward compatibility fixes:
340 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
342 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
343 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
344 for backward compatibility.
348 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
349 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
353 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
354 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
355 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
357 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
359 Backward compatibility fixes:
361 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
362 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
366 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
369 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
370 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
371 example) Coro is loaded.
373 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
374 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
376 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
377 using MooseX::Deamonize
379 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
380 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
381 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
382 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
383 deployed in these environments.
387 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
391 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
392 file for your application.
394 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
398 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
399 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
401 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
404 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
405 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
407 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
409 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
410 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
412 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
413 IO::Handle's behaviour.
415 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
416 was not breaking out correctly
418 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
419 to also work in the $c->component method.
421 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
422 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
423 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
425 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
427 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
429 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
431 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
432 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
435 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
437 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
440 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
444 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
445 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
446 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
448 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
451 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
453 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
454 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
455 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
457 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
460 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
461 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
462 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
463 the new major version of Catalyst.
466 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
467 of Catalyst has been much improved.
469 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
472 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
473 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
474 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
476 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
478 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
479 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
480 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
482 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
485 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
486 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
487 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
489 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
490 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
494 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
495 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
497 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
498 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
499 developers without changing their application code.
501 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
504 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
505 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
506 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
507 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
508 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
510 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
511 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
513 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
515 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
519 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
520 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
521 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
522 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
523 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
524 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
525 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
527 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
528 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
529 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
530 class, please tell us *now*.
532 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
535 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
537 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
538 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
539 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
540 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
541 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
542 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
545 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
546 the Content-Length header appropriately)
547 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
548 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
549 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
550 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
551 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
552 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
554 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
555 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
556 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
557 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
558 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
559 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
560 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
561 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
564 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
565 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
567 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
570 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
571 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
575 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
576 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
578 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
581 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
583 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
584 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
586 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
588 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
591 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
593 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
596 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
597 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
598 load Utils before MyApp.pm
600 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
603 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
605 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
606 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
607 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
608 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
609 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
611 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
614 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
615 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
616 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
619 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
620 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
625 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
628 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
631 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
632 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
633 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
634 the default action creation.
637 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
638 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
639 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
640 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
641 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
642 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
643 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
646 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
648 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
650 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
652 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
655 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
656 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
657 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
658 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
659 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
662 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
663 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
666 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
667 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
668 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
669 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
671 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
674 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
675 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
676 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
677 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
678 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
679 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
680 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
681 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
684 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
685 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
686 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
688 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
689 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
690 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
691 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
694 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
695 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
698 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
699 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
702 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
705 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
706 the content type and content length if available.
708 Refactoring / optimizations:
709 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
710 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
711 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
712 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
713 screen as easy to write.
714 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
715 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
716 in parameter filtering (for example).
717 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
718 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
719 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
720 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
721 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
724 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
725 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
726 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
727 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
729 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
732 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
733 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
735 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
738 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
739 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
741 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
744 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
745 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
746 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
747 which should not be encoded.
748 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
749 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
751 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
752 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
753 any set of args/captures.
755 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
756 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
758 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
762 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
764 - Various minor typo fixes.
767 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
769 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
772 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
773 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
774 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
777 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
778 - Clarify documentation about debug
781 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
782 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
783 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
785 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
788 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
789 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
793 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
794 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
796 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
797 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
798 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
799 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
800 argv key in the options hash.
801 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
802 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
803 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
804 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
806 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
810 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
811 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
812 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
813 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
814 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
816 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
820 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
821 encoding test controller.
823 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
825 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
826 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
827 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
828 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
830 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
831 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
832 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
833 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
834 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
836 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
840 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
841 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
842 less packed with information of no use.
846 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
848 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
850 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
851 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
852 the single character '0'.
853 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
856 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
857 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
858 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
860 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
862 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
863 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
864 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
865 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
866 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
867 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
868 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
869 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
870 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
871 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
872 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
873 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
875 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
876 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
878 Refactoring / cleanups:
879 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
880 (and then skipped) normally.
883 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
885 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
888 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
889 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
890 on the old behaviour.
892 Refactoring / cleanups:
893 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
894 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
896 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
899 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
900 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
901 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
902 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
903 as there is no recommended alternative.
904 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
905 fallback for fully qualified component names.
906 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
907 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
908 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
909 startup, rather than with the first hit.
910 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
911 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
912 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
913 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
914 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
915 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
916 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
917 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
920 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
921 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
922 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
923 deprecated and causes warnings).
924 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
925 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
926 in the correct order.
927 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
929 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
930 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
931 is deprecated (RT#51489)
934 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
935 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
936 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
937 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
938 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
940 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
941 exception classes need to implement.
942 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
943 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
946 Refactoring / cleanups:
947 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
948 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
949 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
950 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
951 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
952 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
953 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
955 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
958 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
959 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
960 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
961 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
963 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
964 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
965 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
968 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
969 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
972 Refactoring / cleanups:
973 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
974 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
975 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
976 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
977 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
979 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
982 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
983 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
984 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
985 now loaded at most once + tests.
986 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
987 is returned to 'actions'.
988 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
989 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
991 Refactoring / cleanups:
992 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
993 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
996 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
997 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
998 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1000 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1003 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1004 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1007 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1010 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1011 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1012 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1014 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1017 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1018 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1019 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1021 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1024 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1025 application class immutable without that option.
1026 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1027 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1029 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1030 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1031 (hopefully) future versions.
1032 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1033 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1034 variables (RT#48555)
1035 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1037 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1038 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1039 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1040 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1041 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1043 Refactoring / cleanups:
1044 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1045 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1046 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1047 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1048 known issues with 5.8.3.
1049 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1050 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1053 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1054 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1055 for the controller namespace
1056 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1057 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1058 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1059 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1060 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1061 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1063 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1064 frontend port (jshirley)
1065 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1069 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1070 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1071 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1072 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1075 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1078 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1079 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1080 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1082 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1083 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1084 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1085 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1086 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1087 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1091 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1092 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1093 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1096 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1099 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1100 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1102 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1103 in some environments.
1104 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1105 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1106 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1107 except works correctly with closures.
1108 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1109 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1110 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1111 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1112 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1113 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1114 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1117 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1118 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1119 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1120 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1121 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1122 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1124 Refactoring / cleanups:
1125 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1126 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1127 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1128 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1130 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1131 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1132 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1134 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1135 again in Catalyst::Test
1137 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1140 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1141 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1144 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1147 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1148 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1149 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1151 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1154 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1155 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1158 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1159 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1163 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1164 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1165 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1166 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1167 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1169 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1170 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1171 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1172 controller naming. (random)
1173 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1174 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1175 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1176 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1177 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1179 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1181 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1182 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1183 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1185 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1186 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1187 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1188 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1189 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1190 to report 'Unknown Error'
1191 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1192 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1193 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1194 parse_on_demand is on
1196 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1197 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1198 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1199 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1200 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1201 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1202 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1203 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1204 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1206 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1207 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1208 Test::Aggregate is available.
1209 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1210 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1211 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1212 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1213 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1214 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1215 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1216 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1217 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1218 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1219 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1220 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1221 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1222 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1223 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1224 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1225 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass

1227 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1229 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1230 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1231 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1232 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1233 configuration in your application.

1251 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1252 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1253 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1255 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1256 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1257 warning on recent Moose versions.
1258 - Add delta documentation
1259 - Clean up recursion errors
1260 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1261 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1263 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1264 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1266 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1267 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1268 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1269 tries to chain to itself
1271 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1272 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1273 - Tests for this (radek)
1274 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1275 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1276 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1277 - Tests for this (radek)

1279 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1280 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1281 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1283 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1284 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1286 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1288 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1289 in production versions
1290 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1291 the correct metaclass
1292 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1293 the restarter process
1294 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1295 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1297 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1298 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1299 immutable restart correctly.

1318 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1319 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1320 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1321 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1323 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1324 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1325 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1328 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1363 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1364 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1384 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1386 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and

1412 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1413 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1414 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1585 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1586 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
