1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fixed a bug where if an injected component expanded sub components, those
5 sub components would not show up in the startup debug dev console (
6 even though they were actually created).
9 - Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior
10 that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
11 - Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
12 - removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst
13 dependency. Used Test::More instead.
15 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28
16 - Added swanky github badges.
17 - Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
18 - New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the
19 canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or
20 a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is
23 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27
24 - Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would
25 raise an error when registering its actions.
26 - Updated some documentation around route matching.
27 - refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into
28 the injection and do custom injection types.
30 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17
31 - Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be
32 more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported
34 - When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to
35 use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already
36 defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote
37 the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types
39 - Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a
40 type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or
41 not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
42 - Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases
43 around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
44 - NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core
45 version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should
46 start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since
47 going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in
48 Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected
50 - NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core
51 so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits',
52 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose
53 traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So
54 in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator'
55 should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles
56 via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits'
57 and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods,
59 - NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now
60 setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and
61 creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This
62 feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are
63 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy
64 stand alone classes...).
65 - Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance
66 optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please
67 report any stats related issues.
68 - Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not
69 expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo
70 does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with
71 passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
72 - Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components
73 when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not
74 reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.
76 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26
77 - New development branch synched with 5.90085.
78 - NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare
79 a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or
81 - When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target
82 action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed
83 URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more
84 noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
85 - New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This
86 document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
89 - Small change to Catalyst::Action to prevent autovivication of Args value (dim1++)
90 - Minor typo fixes (Abraxxa++)
91 - Make sure than when using chained actions and when more than one action
92 matches the same path specification AND has Args(0), that we follow the
93 "in a tie, the last action defined wins" rule. There is a small chance
94 this is a breaking change for you. See Catalyst::Upgrading for more.
95 You may use the application configuration setting "use_chained_args_0_special_case"
96 to disable this new behavior, if you must for back-compat reasons.
97 - Added PATCH HTTP Method action attribute shortcut.
98 - Several new configuration options aimed to give improved backwards compatibility
99 for when your URL query parameters or keywords have non UTF-8 encodings.
100 See Catalyst::Upgrading.
103 - Small change to the way body parameters are created in order to prevent
104 trying to create parameters twice.
105 - Use new HTTP::Body and code updates to fix issue when POSTed params have
106 non UTF-8 charset encodings or otherwise complex upload parts that are not
107 file uploads. In these cases when Catalyst can't determine what the value of
108 a form upload is, will return an instance of Catalyst::Request::PartData with
109 all the information need to figure it out. Documentation about this corner
110 case. For RT https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101556
111 - Two new application configuration parameters 'skip_body_param_unicode_decoding'
112 and 'skip_complex_post_part_handling' to assist you with any backward
113 compatibility issues with all the new UTF8 work in the most recent stable
114 Catalyst. You may use these settings to TEMPORARILY disable certain new
115 features while you are seeking a long term fix.
118 - Fixed typo in support for OPTIONS method matching (andre++)
119 - Stop using $env->{'plack.request.query'} as a query parsing optimization
120 since 1) it doesn't belong to us and 2) there's subtle differences in the
121 way plack parses parameters and catalyst does. This fixes a bug when you
122 are using middleware that uses Plack::Request to do its thing. This change
123 might have subtle impact on query parsing. Please test this change!
126 - Fixed a regression created in $response->from_psgi_response and test case
127 to prevent it happening again.
130 - created class attribute 'finalized_default_middleware' which determines
131 if the default middleware has been added to the stack yet or not. This
132 removes a horrible hack that polluted the configuration hash. Added
133 test case to prevent regressions.
136 - Minor documentation corrections
137 - Make the '79 development series stable
139 5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
140 - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
141 has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
142 response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
143 - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
145 5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
146 - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
147 - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
148 - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
149 - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
150 - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
151 changes introduced in v5.90080.
153 5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
154 - Removed unneeded dependency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
155 on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
156 - Updated copyright notices to 2015
157 - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
158 note posted a few months ago.
159 - Added my name to the contributors list
161 5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
162 - Merged changes from 5.90078
163 - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
164 to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
165 behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
166 or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
167 with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
168 - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
169 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
170 Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
171 this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
172 list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
173 - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
175 5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
176 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
177 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
179 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
180 - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
181 - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
182 a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
183 - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
184 - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
185 - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the response should be encoded.
186 - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
187 has already been called (and headers already sent).
188 - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
189 added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
191 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
192 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
193 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
195 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
196 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
199 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
200 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
201 existing Plack conventions.
202 - Modify Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
203 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
204 - Modified Catalyst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
205 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
206 don't bubble back up to the main application.
207 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
208 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
209 I highly suggest you test this release.
210 - We always do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
211 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
212 correct if incorrect :)
213 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
214 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
215 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specified via the encoding configuration value).
216 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
217 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
218 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
219 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
220 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
221 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
223 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
224 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional method 'write_encoded' that just
225 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
227 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
228 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
229 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
230 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
234 - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
236 - updated year in copyright notices
239 - POD corrections (sergey++)
240 - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough feature
241 introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
242 trouble. (davewood++);
243 - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
244 - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
245 data. Added documentation and tests around this.
248 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
249 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
250 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
251 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
252 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
255 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
256 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
257 HTTP Exception middleware.
260 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
261 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
262 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
263 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
264 you really need to review this exploit.
267 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
270 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
271 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
272 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
273 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
275 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
278 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
279 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
280 so you can go to hunt it out.
283 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
284 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
285 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
286 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
287 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
288 - Added Italian translation of default error.
291 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
294 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
295 certain tests. No other changes.
298 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
299 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
300 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
302 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
304 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
306 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
310 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
311 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
312 questions or problems!
313 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
314 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
315 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
316 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
317 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
318 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
319 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
320 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
321 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
324 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
325 - documentation and test fixes
328 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
329 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
330 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
331 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
332 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
333 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
334 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
337 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
338 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
341 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
342 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
343 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
344 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
345 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
346 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
347 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
348 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
350 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
353 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
354 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
357 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
358 introduced by a change in December.
361 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
364 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
365 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
366 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSGI
367 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
368 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
371 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
372 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
373 reported while installing.
374 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
375 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
376 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
377 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
378 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
379 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
380 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
381 deprecated immediately. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
382 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
383 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
384 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
385 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
386 - update copyright notices.
388 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
389 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
390 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
391 fails to install (sorry).
392 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
393 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
394 middleware deal with it.
396 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
397 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
398 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
399 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
400 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
401 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
402 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
403 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
404 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
406 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
407 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
408 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
409 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
410 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
411 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
412 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
413 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
414 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
415 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
417 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
418 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
419 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
420 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
424 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
425 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
426 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
427 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
428 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
429 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
433 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
434 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
435 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
437 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
438 popular ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
439 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
441 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
442 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
443 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
444 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
446 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
447 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
448 - Various POD formatting fixed.
449 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
450 accept and issues that might arise.
453 - Be more skeptical of the existence of $request->env to fix a regression
454 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
457 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
458 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
459 for internal methods:
461 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
462 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
463 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
465 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
466 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
467 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
468 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
470 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
471 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
472 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
474 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
475 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
476 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
477 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
478 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
480 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
481 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
482 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
483 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
484 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
485 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
486 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
487 cases to reflect this change.
489 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
490 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
491 whichever is first (preferring to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
492 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
493 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
494 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
495 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
496 those keys already exist). Keys added:
497 - plack.request.query
499 - plack.request.merged
500 - plack.request.http.body
501 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
502 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
503 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
504 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
505 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
506 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
507 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
508 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
509 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
510 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
511 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
512 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
513 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
514 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
515 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
516 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
517 is a scalar or arrayref.
518 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
519 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
521 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
522 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
523 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatibility
525 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
526 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
527 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
528 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
529 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
530 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
531 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
532 a development setup (ether++)
534 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
535 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
536 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
537 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
538 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
539 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
540 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
541 case t/data_handler.t
543 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
544 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
545 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
546 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
547 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
550 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
551 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
552 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
553 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
555 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
557 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
561 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
562 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
563 this fixes all of them.
564 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
565 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
566 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
567 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
569 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
572 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
573 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
574 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
575 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
576 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on Perl 5.17.11
577 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
578 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
580 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
581 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
582 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
583 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
584 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
585 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
587 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
588 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
589 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
590 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
591 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
592 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
593 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
594 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
596 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
599 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
600 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
601 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
602 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
603 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
604 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
606 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
607 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
608 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
609 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
610 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
611 - smarter validation around action attributes.
614 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
615 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
616 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
617 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
618 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
619 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
620 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
621 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
622 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
623 in behavior is compatible on its own.
624 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
625 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
626 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
627 - Some test and documentation improvements
629 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
630 - Fix for Perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
631 - Fix for Perl 5.8. RT#61122
632 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on Perl 5.8
635 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
636 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
639 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
640 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
642 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
643 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
645 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
647 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
648 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
650 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
652 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
653 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
654 of request or response classes.
656 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
657 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
658 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
659 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOSX tar
660 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
661 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
662 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
663 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
664 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
665 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
667 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
668 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
669 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
670 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
671 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
673 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
675 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
676 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
678 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
680 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
681 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
682 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
685 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
688 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
691 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
692 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
694 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
697 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
700 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
702 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
704 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
706 Distribution META.yml changes:
707 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
708 mis-parses from the documentation.
709 - x_authority key added.
712 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
713 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
715 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
716 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
717 is less than helpful.
719 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
720 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
721 in bleadperl. RT#76437
723 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
724 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
727 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
728 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
730 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
731 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
732 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
734 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
737 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
738 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
739 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
740 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
741 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
742 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
744 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
746 - --background option for the server script now only closes
747 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
748 and other loggers which open a file handle when
749 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
750 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
751 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
754 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
757 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
758 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
759 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
760 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
762 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
765 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
768 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
769 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existent
770 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
771 included when not running from a checkout.
773 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
775 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
776 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
777 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
779 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
781 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
783 New features and refactoring:
784 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
785 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
786 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
788 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
789 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
790 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
793 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
794 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
795 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
797 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
799 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
800 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
801 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
802 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
803 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
804 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
806 Back compatibility fixes:
807 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
808 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
809 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
812 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
815 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
816 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
817 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
819 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
820 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
821 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
823 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
826 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
827 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
828 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
829 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
830 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
833 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
834 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
836 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
837 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
838 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
840 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
843 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
844 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
845 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
846 get them passed through to the application.
849 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
850 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
851 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
852 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
855 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
856 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
857 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
858 context being passed through to make_immutable, causing it to not return
860 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
861 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
862 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
864 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
865 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
867 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
871 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
872 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
873 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
874 whereas before you had to say:
875 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
876 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
877 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
880 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
881 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
882 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
883 scripts in the application.
884 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
885 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
886 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
891 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
893 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actions
894 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
895 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
896 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
897 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
898 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
899 and provide an alternative.
901 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
905 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
908 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
911 - Make default body responses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
913 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
914 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
915 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
916 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
917 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
918 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
922 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
923 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
925 Backward compatibility fixes:
927 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
928 scripts which explicitly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
932 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
933 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
935 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
937 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
939 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
940 Backward compatibility fixes:
942 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
943 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
945 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
949 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
950 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
951 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
953 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
955 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
956 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
958 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
962 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
964 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
966 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
968 Backward compatibility fixes:
970 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
972 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
973 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
974 for backward compatibility.
978 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
979 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
983 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
984 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
985 documented in Catalyst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
987 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
989 Backward compatibility fixes:
991 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
992 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
996 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
999 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
1000 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
1001 example) Coro is loaded.
1003 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
1004 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
1006 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
1007 using MooseX::Deamonize
1009 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
1010 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
1011 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
1012 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
1013 deployed in these environments.
1017 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
1021 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
1022 file for your application.
1024 - Catalyst::Upgrading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
1028 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
1029 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
1031 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
1034 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
1035 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
1037 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
1039 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
1040 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
1042 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
1043 IO::Handle's behaviour.
1045 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
1046 was not breaking out correctly
1048 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
1049 to also work in the $c->component method.
1051 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
1052 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
1053 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
1055 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
1057 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
1059 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
1061 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
1062 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
1065 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
1067 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
1070 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
1071 not being installed.
1074 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
1075 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
1076 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
1078 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
1081 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
1083 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
1084 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
1085 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
1087 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
1090 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
1091 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
1092 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
1093 the new major version of Catalyst.
1096 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
1097 of Catalyst has been much improved.
1099 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
1102 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
1103 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
1104 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
1106 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
1108 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
1109 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
1110 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
1112 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
1113 in Catalyst::execute
1115 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
1116 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
1117 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
1119 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
1120 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
1124 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
1125 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
1127 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
1128 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
1129 developers without changing their application code.
1131 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
1134 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
1135 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
1136 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
1137 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
1138 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
1140 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
1141 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
1143 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
1145 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
1149 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
1150 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
1151 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
1152 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
1153 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
1154 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
1155 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
1157 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
1158 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
1159 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
1160 class, please tell us *now*.
1162 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
1165 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
1167 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
1168 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
1169 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
1170 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
1171 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
1172 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
1175 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
1176 the Content-Length header appropriately)
1177 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
1178 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
1179 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
1180 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
1181 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
1182 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
1184 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
1185 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
1186 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
1187 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
1188 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
1189 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
1190 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
1191 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
1194 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
1195 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1197 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1200 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1201 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1205 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1206 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1208 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1211 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1213 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1214 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1216 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1218 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1221 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1223 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1226 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1227 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1228 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1230 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1233 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1235 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1236 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1237 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1238 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1239 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1241 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1244 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1245 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1246 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1249 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1250 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1255 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1258 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1261 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1262 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1263 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1264 the default action creation.
1267 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1268 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1269 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1270 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1271 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1272 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1273 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1276 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1278 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1280 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1282 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1285 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1286 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1287 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1288 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1289 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1292 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1293 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1296 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1297 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1298 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1299 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1301 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1304 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1305 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1306 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1307 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1308 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1309 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1310 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1311 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1314 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1315 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1316 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1318 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1319 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1320 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1321 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1324 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1325 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1328 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1329 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1332 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1335 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1336 the content type and content length if available.
1338 Refactoring / optimizations:
1339 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1340 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1341 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1342 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1343 screen as easy to write.
1344 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1345 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1346 in parameter filtering (for example).
1347 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1348 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1349 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1350 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1351 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1354 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1355 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1356 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1357 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1359 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1362 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1363 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 characters.
1365 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1368 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1369 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1371 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1374 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1375 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1376 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1377 which should not be encoded.
1378 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1379 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1381 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1382 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1383 any set of args/captures.
1385 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1386 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1388 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1392 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1394 - Various minor typo fixes.
1397 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1399 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1402 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1403 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1404 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1407 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1408 - Clarify documentation about debug
1411 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1412 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1413 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1415 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1418 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1419 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1423 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1424 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1426 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1427 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1428 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1429 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1430 argv key in the options hash.
1431 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1432 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1433 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1434 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1436 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1440 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1441 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1442 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1443 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1444 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1446 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1450 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1451 encoding test controller.
1453 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1455 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1456 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1457 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1458 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1460 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1461 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1462 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1463 some Apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1464 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1466 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1470 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1471 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1472 less packed with information of no use.
1476 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1478 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1480 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1481 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1482 the single character '0'.
1483 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1486 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1487 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1488 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1490 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1492 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1493 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1494 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1495 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1496 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1497 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1498 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1499 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1500 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1501 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1502 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1503 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1505 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1506 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1508 Refactoring / cleanups:
1509 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1510 (and then skipped) normally.
1513 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1515 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1518 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1519 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1520 on the old behaviour.
1522 Refactoring / cleanups:
1523 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1524 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1526 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1529 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1530 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1531 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1532 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1533 as there is no recommended alternative.
1534 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1535 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1536 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1537 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1538 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1539 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1540 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1541 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1542 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1543 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1544 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captures)
1545 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1546 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1547 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1550 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1551 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1552 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1553 deprecated and causes warnings).
1554 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1555 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1556 in the correct order.
1557 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1559 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1560 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1561 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1564 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1565 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1566 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1567 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1568 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1570 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1571 exception classes need to implement.
1572 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1573 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1576 Refactoring / cleanups:
1577 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1578 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1579 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1580 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1581 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1582 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1583 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1585 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1588 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1589 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1590 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1591 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1593 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1594 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1595 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1598 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1599 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1602 Refactoring / cleanups:
1603 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1604 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1605 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1606 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1607 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1609 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1612 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1613 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1614 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1615 now loaded at most once + tests.
1616 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1617 is returned to 'actions'.
1618 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1619 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1621 Refactoring / cleanups:
1622 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1623 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1626 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1627 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1628 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1630 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1633 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1634 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1637 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1640 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1641 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1642 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1644 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1647 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1648 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1649 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1651 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1654 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1655 application class immutable without that option.
1656 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1657 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1659 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1660 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1661 (hopefully) future versions.
1662 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1663 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1664 variables (RT#48555)
1665 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1667 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1668 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1669 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1670 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1671 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1673 Refactoring / cleanups:
1674 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1675 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1676 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1677 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1678 known issues with 5.8.3.
1679 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1680 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1683 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1684 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1685 for the controller namespace
1686 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1687 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1688 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1689 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1690 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1691 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1693 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1694 frontend port (jshirley)
1695 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1699 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1700 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1701 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.

1710 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1712 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1713 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1714 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1715 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1716 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1717 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1721 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1722 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1723 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1726 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1729 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for

1733 in some environments.
1734 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1735 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1736 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1737 except works correctly with closures.

1744 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1747 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1748 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)

1750 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1751 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1752 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1754 Refactoring / cleanups:
1755 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1756 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1757 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1758 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1760 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1761 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1762 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

1778 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1779 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1781 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1784 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1785 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1788 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1789 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1793 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

1795 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1796 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1797 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1799 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

1817 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1818 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1819 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1820 to report 'Unknown Error'
1821 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1822 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1823 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when

1856 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1857 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1859 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1860 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1861 turning debugging on if defined, rather than if set.
1862 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over

1896 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1897 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1898 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1899 tries to chain to itself

1902 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1903 - Tests for this (radek)
1904 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1905 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1906 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1907 - Tests for this (radek)

1918 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1919 in production versions
1920 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1921 the correct metaclass
1922 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1923 the restarter process
1924 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1925 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1927 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1928 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1929 immutable restart correctly.
1931 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1932 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1948 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1949 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1950 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1951 subroutine attributes for action declarations with an alternate
1953 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose

1988 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1989 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

1992 - Fix request arguments getting corrupted if you override the
1993 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1994 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

2005 Catalyst::Dispatcher
2006 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

2011 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
2013 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
2014 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
2016 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
2017 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

2042 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
2043 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
2044 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

2164 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
2165 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
2166 throw warnings for two reasons:
2167 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
2168 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
2170 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
2171 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
2172 method with a regex as the argument
