1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
4 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
7 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
8 - Change Catalsyt _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
10 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
11 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
13 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
15 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
16 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
18 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
20 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
21 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
22 of request or response classes.
24 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
25 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
26 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
27 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
28 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
29 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
30 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
31 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
32 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
33 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
35 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
36 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
37 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
38 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
39 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
41 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
43 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
44 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
46 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
48 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
49 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
50 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
53 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
56 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
59 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
60 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
62 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
65 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
68 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
70 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
72 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
74 Distribution META.yml changes:
75 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
76 mis-parses from the documentation.
77 - x_authority key added.
80 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
81 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
83 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
84 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
87 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
88 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
89 in bleadperl. RT#76437
91 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
92 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
95 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
96 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
98 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
99 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
100 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
102 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
105 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
106 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
107 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
108 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
109 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
110 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
112 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
114 - --background option for the server script now only closes
115 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
116 and other loggers which open a file handle when
117 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
118 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
119 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
122 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
125 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
126 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
127 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
128 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
130 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
133 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
136 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
137 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
138 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
139 included when not running from a checkout.
141 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
143 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
144 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
145 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
147 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
149 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
151 New features and refactoring:
152 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
153 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
154 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
156 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
157 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
158 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
161 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
162 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
163 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
165 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
167 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
168 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
169 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
170 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
171 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
172 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
174 Back compatibility fixes:
175 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
176 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
177 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
180 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
183 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
184 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
185 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
187 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
188 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
189 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
191 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
194 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
195 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
196 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
197 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
198 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
201 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
202 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
204 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
205 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
206 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
208 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
211 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
212 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
213 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
214 get them passed through to the application.
217 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
218 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
219 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
220 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
223 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
224 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
225 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
226 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
228 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
229 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
230 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
232 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
233 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
235 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
239 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
240 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
241 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
242 whereas before you had to say:
243 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
244 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
245 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
248 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
249 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
250 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
251 scripts in the application.
252 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
253 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
254 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
259 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
261 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
262 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
263 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
264 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
265 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
266 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
267 and provide an alternative.
269 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
273 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
276 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
279 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
281 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
282 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
283 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
284 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
285 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
286 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
290 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
291 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
293 Backward compatibility fixes:
295 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
296 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
300 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
301 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
303 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
305 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
307 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
308 Backward compatibility fixes:
310 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
311 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
313 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
317 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
318 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
319 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
321 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
323 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
324 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
326 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
330 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
332 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
334 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
336 Backward compatibility fixes:
338 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
340 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
341 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
342 for backward compatibility.
346 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
347 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
351 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
352 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
353 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
355 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
357 Backward compatibility fixes:
359 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
360 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
364 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
367 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
368 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
369 example) Coro is loaded.
371 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
372 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
374 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
375 using MooseX::Deamonize
377 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
378 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
379 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
380 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
381 deployed in these environments.
385 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
389 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
390 file for your application.
392 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
396 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
397 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
399 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
402 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
403 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
405 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
407 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
408 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
410 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
411 IO::Handle's behaviour.
413 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
414 was not breaking out correctly
416 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
417 to also work in the $c->component method.
419 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
420 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
421 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
423 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
425 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
427 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
429 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
430 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
433 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
435 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
438 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
442 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
443 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
444 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
446 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
449 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
451 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
452 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
453 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
455 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
458 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
459 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
460 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
461 the new major version of Catalyst.
464 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
465 of Catalyst has been much improved.
467 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
470 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
471 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
472 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
474 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
476 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
477 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
478 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
480 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
483 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
484 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
485 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
487 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
488 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
492 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
493 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
495 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
496 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
497 developers without changing their application code.
499 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
502 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
503 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
504 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
505 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
506 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
508 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
509 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
511 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
513 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
517 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
518 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
519 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
520 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
521 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
522 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
523 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
525 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
526 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
527 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
528 class, please tell us *now*.
530 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
533 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
535 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
536 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
537 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
538 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
539 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
540 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
543 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
544 the Content-Length header appropriately)
545 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
546 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
547 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
548 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
549 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
550 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
552 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
553 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
554 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
555 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
556 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
557 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
558 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
559 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
562 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
563 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
565 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
568 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
569 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
573 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
574 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
576 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
579 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
581 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
582 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
584 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
586 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
589 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
591 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
594 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
595 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
596 load Utils before MyApp.pm
598 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
601 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
603 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
604 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
605 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
606 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
607 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
609 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
612 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
613 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
614 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
617 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
618 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
623 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
626 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
629 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
630 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
631 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
632 the default action creation.
635 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
636 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
637 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
638 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
639 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
640 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
641 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
644 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
646 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
648 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
650 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
653 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
654 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
655 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
656 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
657 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
660 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
661 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
664 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
665 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
666 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
667 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
669 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
672 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
673 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
674 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
675 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
676 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
677 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
678 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
679 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
682 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
683 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
684 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
686 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
687 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
688 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
689 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
692 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
693 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
696 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
697 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
700 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
703 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
704 the content type and content length if available.
706 Refactoring / optimizations:
707 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
708 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
709 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
710 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
711 screen as easy to write.
712 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
713 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
714 in parameter filtering (for example).
715 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
716 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
717 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
718 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
719 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
722 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
723 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
724 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
725 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
727 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
730 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
731 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
733 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
736 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
737 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
739 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
742 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
743 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
744 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
745 which should not be encoded.
746 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
747 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
749 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
750 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
751 any set of args/captures.
753 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
754 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
756 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
760 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
762 - Various minor typo fixes.
765 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
767 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
770 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
771 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
772 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
775 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
776 - Clarify documentation about debug
779 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
780 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
781 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
783 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
786 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
787 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
791 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
792 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
794 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
795 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
796 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
797 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
798 argv key in the options hash.
799 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
800 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
801 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
802 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
804 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
808 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
809 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
810 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
811 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
812 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
814 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
818 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
819 encoding test controller.
821 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
823 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
824 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
825 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
826 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
828 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
829 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
830 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
831 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
832 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
834 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
838 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
839 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
840 less packed with information of no use.
844 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
846 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
848 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
849 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
850 the single character '0'.
851 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
854 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
855 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
856 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
858 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
860 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
861 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
862 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
863 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
864 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
865 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
866 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
867 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
868 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
869 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
870 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
871 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
873 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
874 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
876 Refactoring / cleanups:
877 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
878 (and then skipped) normally.
881 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
883 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
886 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
887 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
888 on the old behaviour.
890 Refactoring / cleanups:
891 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
892 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
894 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
897 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
898 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
899 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
900 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
901 as there is no recommended alternative.
902 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
903 fallback for fully qualified component names.
904 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
905 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
906 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
907 startup, rather than with the first hit.
908 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
909 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
910 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
911 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
912 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
913 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
914 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
915 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
918 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
919 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
920 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
921 deprecated and causes warnings).
922 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
923 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
924 in the correct order.
925 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
927 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
928 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
929 is deprecated (RT#51489)
932 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
933 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
934 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
935 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
936 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
938 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
939 exception classes need to implement.
940 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
941 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
944 Refactoring / cleanups:
945 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
946 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
947 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
948 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
949 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
950 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
951 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
953 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
956 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
957 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
958 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
959 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
961 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
962 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
963 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
966 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
967 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
970 Refactoring / cleanups:
971 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
972 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
973 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
974 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
975 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
977 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
980 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
981 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
982 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
983 now loaded at most once + tests.
984 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
985 is returned to 'actions'.
986 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
987 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
989 Refactoring / cleanups:
990 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
991 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
994 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
995 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
996 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
998 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1001 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1002 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1005 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1008 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1009 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1010 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1012 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1015 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1016 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1017 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1019 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1022 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1023 application class immutable without that option.
1024 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1025 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1027 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1028 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1029 (hopefully) future versions.
1030 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1031 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1032 variables (RT#48555)
1033 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1035 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1036 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1037 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1038 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1039 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1041 Refactoring / cleanups:
1042 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1043 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1044 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1045 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1046 known issues with 5.8.3.
1047 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1048 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1051 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1052 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1053 for the controller namespace
1054 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1055 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1056 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1057 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1058 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1059 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1061 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1062 frontend port (jshirley)
1063 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1067 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1068 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1069 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1070 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1073 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1076 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1077 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1078 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1080 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1081 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1082 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1083 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1084 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1085 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1089 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1090 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1091 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1094 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1097 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1098 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1100 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1101 in some environments.
1102 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1103 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1104 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1105 except works correctly with closures.
1106 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1107 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1108 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1109 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1110 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1111 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1112 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1115 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1116 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1117 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1118 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1119 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1120 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1122 Refactoring / cleanups:
1123 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1124 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1125 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1126 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1128 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1129 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1130 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1132 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1133 again in Catalyst::Test
1135 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1138 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1139 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1142 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1145 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1146 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1147 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1149 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1152 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1153 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1156 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1157 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1161 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1162 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1163 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1164 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1165 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1167 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1168 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1169 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1170 controller naming. (random)
1171 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1172 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1173 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1174 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1175 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1177 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1179 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1180 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1181 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1183 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1184 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1185 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1186 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1187 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1188 to report 'Unknown Error'
1189 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1190 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1191 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1192 parse_on_demand is on
1194 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1195 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1196 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1197 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1198 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1199 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1200 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1201 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1202 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1204 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1205 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1206 Test::Aggregate is available.
1207 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1208 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1209 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1210 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1211 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1212 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1213 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1214 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1215 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1216 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1217 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1218 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1219 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1220 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1221 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1222 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1223 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1224 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1225 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)

1228 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1229 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1230 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1231 configuration in your application.

1249 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1250 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions

1253 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1254 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1255 warning on recent Moose versions.
1256 - Add delta documentation
1257 - Clean up recursion errors
1258 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1259 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1261 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1262 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1264 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1265 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1266 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1267 tries to chain to itself
1269 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1270 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1271 - Tests for this (radek)
1272 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1273 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1274 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1275 - Tests for this (radek)

1277 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1278 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1279 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1281 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1282 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1284 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1286 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1287 in production versions
1288 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1289 the correct metaclass
1290 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1291 the restarter process
1292 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1293 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1295 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1296 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1297 immutable restart correctly.
1299 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1300 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1313 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1314 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1316 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1317 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1318 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1319 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1321 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1322 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1323 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1326 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
