3 5.89003 2011-07-XX XX:XX:XX (TRIAL release)
5 Backward compatibility fixes:
7 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
8 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
12 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
13 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
14 example) Coro is loaded.
16 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
17 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
19 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
20 using MooseX::Deamonize
22 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
23 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
24 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
25 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
26 deployed in these environments.
28 - Catalyst::Test fixes - XXX FIXME
31 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
32 file for your application.
34 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
38 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecate. You should just
39 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
41 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
44 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
45 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
47 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
49 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
50 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
52 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
53 IO::Handle's behaviour.
55 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
56 was not breaking out correctly
58 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
59 to also work in the $c->component method.
61 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
62 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
63 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
65 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
67 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
69 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
71 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
72 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
75 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
77 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
80 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
84 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
85 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
86 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
88 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
91 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
93 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
94 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
95 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
97 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
100 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
101 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
102 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
103 the new major version of Catalyst.
106 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
107 of Catalyst has been much improved.
109 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
112 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
113 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
114 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
116 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
118 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
119 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
120 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
122 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
125 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
126 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
127 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
129 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
130 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
134 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
135 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
137 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
138 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
139 developers without changing their application code.
141 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
144 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
145 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
146 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
147 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
148 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
150 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
151 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
153 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
155 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
159 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
160 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
161 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
162 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
163 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
164 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
165 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
167 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
168 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
169 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
170 class, please tell us *now*.
172 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
175 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
177 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
178 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
179 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
180 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
181 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
182 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
185 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
186 the Content-Length header appropriately)
187 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
188 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
189 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
190 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
191 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
192 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
194 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
195 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
196 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
197 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
198 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
199 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
200 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
201 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
204 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
205 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
207 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
210 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
211 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
215 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
216 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
218 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
221 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
223 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
224 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
226 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
228 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
231 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
233 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
236 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
237 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
238 load Utils before MyApp.pm
240 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
243 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
245 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
246 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
247 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
248 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
249 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
251 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
254 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
255 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
256 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
259 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
260 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
265 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
268 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
271 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
272 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
273 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
274 the default action creation.
277 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
278 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
279 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
280 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
281 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
282 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
283 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
286 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
288 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
290 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
292 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
295 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
296 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
297 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
298 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
299 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
302 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
303 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
306 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
307 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
308 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
309 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
311 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
314 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
315 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
316 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
317 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
318 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
319 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
320 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
321 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
324 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
325 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
326 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
328 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
329 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
330 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
331 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
334 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
335 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
338 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
339 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
342 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
345 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
346 the content type and content length if available.
348 Refactoring / optimizations:
349 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
350 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
351 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
352 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
353 screen as easy to write.
354 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
355 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
356 in parameter filtering (for example).
357 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
358 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
359 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
360 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
361 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
364 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
365 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
366 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
367 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
369 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
372 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
373 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
375 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
378 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
379 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
381 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
384 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
385 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
386 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
387 which should not be encoded.
388 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
389 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
391 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
392 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
393 any set of args/captures.
395 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
396 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
398 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
402 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
404 - Various minor typo fixes.
407 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
409 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
412 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
413 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
414 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
417 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
418 - Clarify documentation about debug
421 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
422 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
423 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
425 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
428 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
429 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
433 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
434 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
436 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
437 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
438 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
439 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
440 argv key in the options hash.
441 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
442 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
443 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
444 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
446 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
450 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
451 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
452 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
453 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
454 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
456 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
460 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
461 encoding test controller.
463 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
465 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
466 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
467 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
468 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
470 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
471 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
472 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
473 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
474 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
476 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
480 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
481 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
482 less packed with information of no use.
486 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
488 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
490 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
491 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
492 the single character '0'.
493 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
496 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
497 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
498 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
500 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
502 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
503 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
504 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
505 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
506 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
507 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
508 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
509 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
510 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
511 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
512 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
513 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
515 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
516 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
518 Refactoring / cleanups:
519 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
520 (and then skipped) normally.
523 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
525 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
528 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
529 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
530 on the old behaviour.
532 Refactoring / cleanups:
533 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
534 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
536 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
539 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
540 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
541 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
542 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
543 as there is no recommended alternative.
544 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
545 fallback for fully qualified component names.
546 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
547 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
548 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
549 startup, rather than with the first hit.
550 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
551 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
552 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
553 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
554 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
555 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
556 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
557 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
560 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
561 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
562 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
563 deprecated and causes warnings).
564 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
565 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
566 in the correct order.
567 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
569 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
570 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
571 is deprecated (RT#51489)
574 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
575 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
576 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
577 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
578 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
580 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
581 exception classes need to implement.
582 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
583 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
586 Refactoring / cleanups:
587 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
588 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
589 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
590 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
591 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
592 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
593 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
595 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
598 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
599 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
600 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
601 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
603 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
604 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
605 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
608 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
609 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
612 Refactoring / cleanups:
613 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
614 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
615 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
616 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
617 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
619 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
622 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
623 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
624 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
625 now loaded at most once + tests.
626 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
627 is returned to 'actions'.
628 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
629 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
631 Refactoring / cleanups:
632 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
633 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
636 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
637 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
638 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
640 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
643 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
644 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
647 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
650 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
651 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
652 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
654 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
657 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
658 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
659 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
661 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
664 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
665 application class immutable without that option.
666 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
667 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
669 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
670 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
671 (hopefully) future versions.
672 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
673 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
675 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
677 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
678 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
679 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
680 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
681 Request-URI of the Request-Line
683 Refactoring / cleanups:
684 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
685 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
686 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
687 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
688 known issues with 5.8.3.
689 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
690 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
693 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
694 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
695 for the controller namespace
696 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
697 expand_component_module (rjbs)
698 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
699 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
700 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
701 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
703 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
704 frontend port (jshirley)
705 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
709 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
710 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
711 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
712 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
715 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
718 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
719 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
720 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
722 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
723 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
724 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
725 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
726 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
727 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
731 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
732 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
733 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
736 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
739 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
740 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
742 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
743 in some environments.
744 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
745 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
746 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
747 except works correctly with closures.
748 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
749 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
750 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
752 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
753 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
754 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
757 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
758 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
759 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
760 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
761 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
762 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
764 Refactoring / cleanups:
765 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
766 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
767 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
768 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
770 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
771 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
772 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
774 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
775 again in Catalyst::Test
777 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
780 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
781 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
784 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
787 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
788 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
789 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
791 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
794 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
795 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
798 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
799 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
803 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
804 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
805 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
806 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
807 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
809 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
810 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
811 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application

821 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
822 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
823 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
825 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
826 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
827 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
828 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
829 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
830 to report 'Unknown Error'
831 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
832 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
833 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
834 parse_on_demand is on
836 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53

843 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
844 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
846 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
847 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
848 Test::Aggregate is available.
849 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
850 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

861 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
862 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
863 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
864 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
865 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
866 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
867 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
869 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
870 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
871 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

873 configuration in your application.
875 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
876 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
877 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
879 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple

906 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
907 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
908 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
909 tries to chain to itself
911 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
912 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
913 - Tests for this (radek)
914 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
915 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
916 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
917 - Tests for this (radek)
918 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
919 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
920 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)

924 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
926 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
928 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
929 in production versions
930 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
931 the correct metaclass
932 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
933 the restarter process
934 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
935 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
937 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
938 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
939 immutable restart correctly.
941 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
942 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
943 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

955 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
956 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
957 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
958 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
959 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
960 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
961 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
963 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
964 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
965 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
968 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1018 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1019 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1020 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1021 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1023 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1024 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1026 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and

1177 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1178 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1180 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1181 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1182 method with a regex as the argument
