1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
5 Distribution META.yml changes:
6 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
7 mis-parses from the documentation.
8 - x_authority key added.
11 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
12 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
14 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
15 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
18 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
19 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
20 in bleadperl. RT#76437
22 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
23 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
26 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
27 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
29 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
30 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
31 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
33 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
36 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
37 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
38 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
39 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
40 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
41 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
43 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
45 - --background option for the server script now only closes
46 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
47 and other loggers which open a file handle when
48 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
49 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
50 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
53 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
56 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
57 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
58 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
59 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
61 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
64 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
67 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
68 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
69 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
70 included when not running from a checkout.
72 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
74 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
75 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
76 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
78 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
80 New features and refactoring:
81 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
82 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
83 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
85 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
86 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
87 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
90 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
91 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
92 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
94 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
96 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
97 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
98 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
99 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
100 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
101 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
103 Back compatibility fixes:
104 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
105 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
106 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
109 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
112 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
113 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
114 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
116 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
117 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
118 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
120 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
123 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
124 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
125 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
126 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
127 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
130 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
131 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
133 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
134 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
135 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
137 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
140 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
141 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
142 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
143 get them passed through to the application.
146 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
147 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
148 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
149 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
152 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
153 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
154 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
155 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
157 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
158 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
159 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
161 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
162 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
164 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
168 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
169 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
170 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
171 whereas before you had to say:
172 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
173 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
174 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
177 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
178 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
179 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
180 scripts in the application.
181 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
182 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
183 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
188 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
190 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
191 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
192 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
193 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
194 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
195 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
196 and provide an alternative.
198 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
202 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
205 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
208 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
210 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
211 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
212 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
213 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
214 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
215 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
219 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
220 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
222 Backward compatibility fixes:
224 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
225 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
229 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
230 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
232 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
234 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
236 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
237 Backward compatibility fixes:
239 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
240 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
242 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
246 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
247 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
248 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
250 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
252 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
253 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
255 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
259 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
261 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
263 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
265 Backward compatibility fixes:
267 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
269 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
270 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
271 for backward compatibility.
275 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
276 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
280 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
281 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
282 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
284 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
286 Backward compatibility fixes:
288 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
289 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
293 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
296 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
297 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
298 example) Coro is loaded.
300 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
301 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
303 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
304 using MooseX::Deamonize
306 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
307 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
308 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
309 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
310 deployed in these environments.
314 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
318 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
319 file for your application.
321 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
325 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
326 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
328 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
331 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
332 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
334 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
336 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
337 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
339 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
340 IO::Handle's behaviour.
342 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
343 was not breaking out correctly
345 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
346 to also work in the $c->component method.
348 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
349 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
350 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
352 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
354 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
356 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
358 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
359 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
362 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
364 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
367 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
371 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
372 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
373 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
375 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
378 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
380 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
381 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
382 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
384 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
387 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
388 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
389 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
390 the new major version of Catalyst.
393 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
394 of Catalyst has been much improved.
396 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
399 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
400 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
401 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
403 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
405 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
406 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
407 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
409 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
412 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
413 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
414 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
416 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
417 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
421 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
422 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
424 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
425 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
426 developers without changing their application code.
428 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
431 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
432 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
433 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
434 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
435 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
437 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
438 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
440 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
442 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
446 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
447 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
448 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
449 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
450 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
451 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
452 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
454 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
455 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
456 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
457 class, please tell us *now*.
459 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
462 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
464 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
465 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
466 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
467 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
468 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
469 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
472 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
473 the Content-Length header appropriately)
474 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
475 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
476 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
477 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
478 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
479 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
481 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
482 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
483 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
484 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
485 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
486 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
487 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
488 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
491 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
492 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
494 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
497 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
498 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
502 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
503 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
505 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
508 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
510 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
511 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
513 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
515 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
518 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
520 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
523 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
524 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
525 load Utils before MyApp.pm
527 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
530 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
532 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
533 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
534 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
535 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
536 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
538 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
541 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
542 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
543 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
546 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
547 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
552 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
555 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
558 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
559 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
560 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
561 the default action creation.
564 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
565 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
566 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
567 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
568 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
569 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
570 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
573 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
575 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
577 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
579 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
582 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
583 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
584 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
585 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
586 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
589 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
590 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
593 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
594 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
595 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
596 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
598 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
601 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
602 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
603 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
604 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
605 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
606 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
607 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
608 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
611 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
612 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
613 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
615 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
616 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
617 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
618 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
621 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
622 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
625 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
626 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
629 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
632 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
633 the content type and content length if available.
635 Refactoring / optimizations:
636 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
637 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
638 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
639 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
640 screen as easy to write.
641 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
642 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
643 in parameter filtering (for example).
644 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
645 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
646 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
647 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
648 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
651 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
652 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
653 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
654 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
656 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
659 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
660 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
662 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
665 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
666 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
668 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
671 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
672 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
673 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
674 which should not be encoded.
675 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
676 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
678 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
679 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
680 any set of args/captures.
682 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
683 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
685 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
689 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
691 - Various minor typo fixes.
694 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
696 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
699 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
700 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
701 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
704 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
705 - Clarify documentation about debug
708 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
709 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
710 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
712 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
715 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
716 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
720 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
721 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
723 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
724 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
725 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
726 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
727 argv key in the options hash.
728 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
729 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
730 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
731 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
733 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
737 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
738 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
739 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
740 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
741 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
743 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
747 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
748 encoding test controller.
750 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
752 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
753 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
754 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
755 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
757 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
758 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
759 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
760 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
761 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
763 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
767 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
768 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
769 less packed with information of no use.
773 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
775 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
777 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
778 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
779 the single character '0'.
780 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
783 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
784 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
785 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
787 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
789 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
790 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
791 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
792 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
793 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
794 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
795 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
796 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
797 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
798 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
799 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
800 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
802 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
803 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
805 Refactoring / cleanups:
806 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
807 (and then skipped) normally.
810 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
812 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
815 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
816 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
817 on the old behaviour.
819 Refactoring / cleanups:
820 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
821 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
823 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
826 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
827 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
828 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
829 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
830 as there is no recommended alternative.
831 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
832 fallback for fully qualified component names.
833 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
834 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
835 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
836 startup, rather than with the first hit.
837 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
838 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
839 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
840 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
841 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
842 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
843 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
844 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
847 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
848 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
849 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
850 deprecated and causes warnings).
851 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
852 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
853 in the correct order.
854 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
856 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
857 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
858 is deprecated (RT#51489)
861 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
862 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
863 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
864 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
865 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
867 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
868 exception classes need to implement.
869 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
870 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
873 Refactoring / cleanups:
874 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
875 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
876 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
877 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
878 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
879 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
880 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
882 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
885 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
886 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
887 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
888 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
890 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
891 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
892 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
895 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
896 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
899 Refactoring / cleanups:
900 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
901 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
902 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
903 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
904 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
906 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
909 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
910 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
911 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
912 now loaded at most once + tests.
913 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
914 is returned to 'actions'.
915 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
916 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
918 Refactoring / cleanups:
919 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
920 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
923 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
924 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
925 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
927 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
930 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
931 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
934 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
937 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
938 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
939 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
941 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
944 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
945 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
946 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
948 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
951 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
952 application class immutable without that option.
953 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
954 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
956 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
957 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
958 (hopefully) future versions.
959 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
960 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
962 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
964 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
965 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
966 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
967 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
968 Request-URI of the Request-Line
970 Refactoring / cleanups:
971 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
972 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
973 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
974 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
975 known issues with 5.8.3.
976 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
977 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
980 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
981 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
982 for the controller namespace
983 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
984 expand_component_module (rjbs)
985 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
986 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
987 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
988 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
990 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
991 frontend port (jshirley)
992 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
996 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
997 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
998 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
999 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1002 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1005 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1006 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1007 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1009 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1010 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1011 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1012 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1013 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1014 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1018 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1019 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1020 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1023 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1026 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1027 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1029 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1030 in some environments.
1031 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1032 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1033 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1034 except works correctly with closures.
1035 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1036 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1037 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1038 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1039 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1040 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1041 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1044 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1045 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1046 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1047 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1048 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1049 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1051 Refactoring / cleanups:
1052 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1053 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1054 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1055 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1057 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1058 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1059 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1061 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1062 again in Catalyst::Test
1064 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1067 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1068 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1071 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1074 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1075 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1076 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1078 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1081 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1082 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1085 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1086 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1090 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1091 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1092 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1093 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1094 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1096 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1097 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1098 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1099 controller naming. (random)
1100 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1101 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1102 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1103 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1104 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1106 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1108 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1109 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1110 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1112 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1113 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1114 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1115 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1116 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1117 to report 'Unknown Error'
1118 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1119 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1120 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1121 parse_on_demand is on
1123 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1124 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1125 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1126 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1127 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1128 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1129 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1130 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1131 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1133 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1134 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1135 Test::Aggregate is available.
1136 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1137 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1138 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1139 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1140 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1141 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1142 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1143 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1144 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1145 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1146 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1147 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1148 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1149 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1150 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1151 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1152 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1153 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1154 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1156 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1157 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1158 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1159 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1160 configuration in your application.
1162 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1163 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1164 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1166 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1167 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1169 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1170 has been made private
1171 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1172 the request parameters with undef + test
1173 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1174 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1176 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1178 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1179 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1180 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1182 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1183 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1184 warning on recent Moose versions.
1185 - Add delta documentation
1186 - Clean up recursion errors
1187 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1188 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1190 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1191 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1193 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1194 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1195 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1196 tries to chain to itself
1198 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1199 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1200 - Tests for this (radek)
1201 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1202 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1203 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1204 - Tests for this (radek)
1205 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1206 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1207 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1208 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1210 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1211 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1213 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1215 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1216 in production versions
1217 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1218 the correct metaclass
1219 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1220 the restarter process
1221 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1222 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1224 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1225 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
