1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
5 - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
7 - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
9 5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
10 - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
11 - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
13 5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
14 - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
17 5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
18 - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
19 existing Plack conventions.
20 - Modify Catayst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
21 be an object that does ->as_psgi.
22 - Modified Catayst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
23 docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
24 don't bubble back up to the main application.
25 - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
26 does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
27 I highly suggest you test this release.
28 - We alway do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
29 encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
30 correct if incorrect :)
31 - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
32 path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
33 subject to utf8 decoding (or as specificed via the encoding configuration value).
34 - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
35 - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
36 which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
37 - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
38 this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
39 - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
41 - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
42 over the PSGI writer and provides an additional methd 'write_encoded' that just
43 does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
45 - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
46 the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
47 - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
48 scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
52 - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
53 this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
54 with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
55 PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
56 regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
59 - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
60 method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
61 HTTP Exception middleware.
64 - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
65 potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
66 - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
67 and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
68 you really need to review this exploit.
71 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
74 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
75 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
76 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
77 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
79 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
82 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
83 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
84 so you can go to hunt it out.
87 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
88 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
89 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
90 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
91 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
92 - Added italian translation of default error.
95 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
98 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
99 certain tests. No other changes.
102 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
103 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
104 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
106 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
108 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
110 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
114 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
115 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
116 questions or problems!
117 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
118 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
119 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
120 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
121 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
122 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
123 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
124 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
125 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
128 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
129 - documentation and test fixes
132 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
133 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
134 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
135 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
136 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
137 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
138 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
141 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
142 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
145 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
146 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
147 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
148 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
149 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
150 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
151 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
152 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
154 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
157 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
158 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
161 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
162 introduced by a change in December.
165 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
168 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
169 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
170 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
171 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
172 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
175 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
176 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
177 reported while installing.
178 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
179 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
180 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
181 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
182 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
183 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
184 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
185 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
186 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
187 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
188 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
189 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
190 - update copyright notices.
192 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
193 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
194 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
195 fails to install (sorry).
196 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
197 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
198 middleware deal with it.
200 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
201 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
202 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
203 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
204 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
205 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
206 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
207 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
208 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
210 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
211 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
212 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
213 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
214 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
215 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
216 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
217 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
218 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
219 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
221 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
222 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
223 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
224 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
228 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
229 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
230 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
231 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
232 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
233 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
237 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
238 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
239 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
241 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
242 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
243 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
245 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
246 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
247 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
248 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
250 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
251 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
252 - Various POD formating fixed.
253 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
254 accept and issues that might arise.
257 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
258 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
261 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
262 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
263 for internal methods:
265 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
266 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
267 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
269 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
270 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
271 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
272 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
274 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
275 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
276 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
278 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
279 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
280 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
281 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
282 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
284 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
285 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
286 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
287 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
288 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
289 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
290 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
291 cases to reflect this change.
293 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
294 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
295 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
296 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
297 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
298 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
299 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
300 those keys already exist). Keys added:
301 - plack.request.query
303 - plack.request.merged
304 - plack.request.http.body
305 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
306 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
307 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
308 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
309 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
310 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
311 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
312 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
313 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
314 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
315 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
316 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
317 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
318 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
319 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
320 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
321 is a scalar or arrayref.
322 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
323 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
325 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
326 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
327 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
329 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
330 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
331 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
332 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
333 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
334 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
335 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
336 a development setup (ether++)
338 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
339 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
340 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
341 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
342 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
343 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
344 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
345 case t/data_handler.t
347 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
348 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
349 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
350 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
351 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
354 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
355 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
356 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
357 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
359 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
361 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
365 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
366 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
367 this fixes all of them.
368 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
369 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
370 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
371 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
373 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
376 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
377 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
378 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
379 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
380 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
381 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
382 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
384 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
385 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
386 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
387 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
388 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
389 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
391 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
392 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
393 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
394 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
395 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
396 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
397 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
398 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
400 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
403 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
404 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
405 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
406 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
407 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
408 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
410 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
411 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
412 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
413 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
414 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
415 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
418 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
419 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
420 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
421 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
422 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
423 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
424 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
425 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
426 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
427 in behavior is compatible on its own.
428 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
429 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
430 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
431 - Some test and documentation improvements
433 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
434 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
435 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
436 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
439 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
440 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
443 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
444 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
446 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
447 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
449 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
451 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
452 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
454 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
456 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
457 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
458 of request or response classes.
460 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
461 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
462 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
463 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
464 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
465 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
466 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
467 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
468 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
469 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
471 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
472 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
473 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
474 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
475 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
477 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
479 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
480 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
482 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
484 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
485 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
486 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
489 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
492 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
495 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
496 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
498 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
501 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
504 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
506 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
508 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
510 Distribution META.yml changes:
511 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
512 mis-parses from the documentation.
513 - x_authority key added.
516 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
517 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
519 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
520 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
521 is less than helpful.
523 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
524 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
525 in bleadperl. RT#76437
527 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
528 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
531 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
532 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
534 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
535 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
536 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
538 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
541 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
542 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
543 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
544 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
545 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
546 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
548 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
550 - --background option for the server script now only closes
551 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
552 and other loggers which open a file handle when
553 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
554 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
555 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
558 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
561 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
562 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
563 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
564 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
566 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
569 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
572 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
573 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
574 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
575 included when not running from a checkout.
577 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
579 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
580 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
581 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
583 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
585 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
587 New features and refactoring:
588 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
589 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
590 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
592 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
593 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
594 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
597 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
598 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
599 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
601 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
603 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
604 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
605 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
606 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
607 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
608 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
610 Back compatibility fixes:
611 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
612 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
613 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
616 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
619 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
620 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
621 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
623 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
624 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
625 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
627 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
630 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
631 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
632 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
633 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
634 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
637 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
638 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
640 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
641 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
642 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
644 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
647 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
648 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
649 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
650 get them passed through to the application.
653 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
654 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
655 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
656 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
659 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
660 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
661 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
662 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
664 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
665 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
666 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
668 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
669 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
671 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
675 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
676 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
677 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
678 whereas before you had to say:
679 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
680 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
681 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
684 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
685 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
686 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
687 scripts in the application.
688 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
689 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
690 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
695 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
697 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
698 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
699 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
700 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
701 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
702 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
703 and provide an alternative.
705 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
709 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
712 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
715 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
717 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
718 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
719 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
720 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
721 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
722 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
726 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
727 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
729 Backward compatibility fixes:
731 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
732 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
736 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
737 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
739 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
741 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
743 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
744 Backward compatibility fixes:
746 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
747 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
749 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
753 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
754 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
755 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
757 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
759 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
760 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
762 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
766 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
768 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
770 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
772 Backward compatibility fixes:
774 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
776 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
777 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
778 for backward compatibility.
782 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
783 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
787 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
788 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
789 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
791 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
793 Backward compatibility fixes:
795 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
796 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
800 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
803 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
804 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
805 example) Coro is loaded.
807 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
808 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
810 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
811 using MooseX::Deamonize
813 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
814 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
815 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
816 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
817 deployed in these environments.
821 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
825 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
826 file for your application.
828 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
832 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
833 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
835 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
838 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
839 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
841 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
843 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
844 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
846 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
847 IO::Handle's behaviour.
849 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
850 was not breaking out correctly
852 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
853 to also work in the $c->component method.
855 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
856 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
857 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
859 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
861 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
863 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
865 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
866 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
869 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
871 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
874 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
878 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
879 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
880 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
882 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
885 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
887 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
888 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
889 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
891 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
894 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
895 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
896 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
897 the new major version of Catalyst.
900 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
901 of Catalyst has been much improved.
903 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
906 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
907 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
908 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
910 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
912 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
913 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
914 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
916 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
919 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
920 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
921 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
923 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
924 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
928 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
929 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
931 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
932 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
933 developers without changing their application code.
935 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
938 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
939 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
940 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
941 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
942 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
944 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
945 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
947 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
949 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
953 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
954 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
955 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
956 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
957 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
958 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
959 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
961 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
962 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
963 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
964 class, please tell us *now*.
966 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
969 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
971 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
972 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
973 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
974 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
975 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
976 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
979 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
980 the Content-Length header appropriately)
981 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
982 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
983 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
984 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
985 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
986 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
988 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
989 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
990 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
991 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
992 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
993 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
994 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
995 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
998 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
999 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
1001 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
1004 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
1005 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
1009 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
1010 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
1012 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
1015 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
1017 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
1018 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
1020 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
1022 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
1025 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
1027 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
1030 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
1031 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
1032 load Utils before MyApp.pm
1034 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
1037 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
1039 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
1040 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
1041 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
1042 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
1043 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
1045 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
1048 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
1049 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
1050 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
1053 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
1054 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
1059 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
1062 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
1065 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
1066 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1067 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1068 the default action creation.
1071 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1072 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1073 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1074 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1075 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1076 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1077 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1080 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1082 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1084 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1086 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1089 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1090 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1091 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1092 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1093 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1096 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1097 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1100 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1101 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1102 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1103 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1105 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1108 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1109 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1110 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1111 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1112 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1113 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1114 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1115 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1118 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1119 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1120 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1122 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1123 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1124 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1125 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1128 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1129 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1132 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1133 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1136 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1139 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1140 the content type and content length if available.
1142 Refactoring / optimizations:
1143 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1144 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1145 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1146 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1147 screen as easy to write.
1148 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1149 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1150 in parameter filtering (for example).
1151 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1152 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1153 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1154 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1155 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1158 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1159 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1160 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1161 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1163 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1166 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1167 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1169 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1172 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1173 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1175 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1178 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1179 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1180 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1181 which should not be encoded.
1182 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1183 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1185 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1186 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1187 any set of args/captures.
1189 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1190 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1192 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1196 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1198 - Various minor typo fixes.
1201 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1203 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1206 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1207 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1208 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1211 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1212 - Clarify documentation about debug
1215 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1216 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1217 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1219 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1222 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1223 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1227 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1228 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1230 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1231 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1232 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1233 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1234 argv key in the options hash.
1235 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1236 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1237 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1238 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1240 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1244 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1245 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1246 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1247 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1248 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1250 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1254 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1255 encoding test controller.
1257 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1259 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1260 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1261 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1262 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1264 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1265 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1266 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1267 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1268 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1270 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1274 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1275 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1276 less packed with information of no use.
1280 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1282 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1284 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1285 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1286 the single character '0'.
1287 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1290 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1291 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1292 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1294 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1296 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1297 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1298 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1299 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1300 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1301 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1302 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1303 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1304 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1305 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1306 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1307 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1309 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1310 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1312 Refactoring / cleanups:
1313 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1314 (and then skipped) normally.
1317 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1319 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1322 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1323 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1324 on the old behaviour.
1326 Refactoring / cleanups:
1327 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1328 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1330 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1333 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1334 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1335 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1336 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1337 as there is no recommended alternative.
1338 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1339 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1340 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1341 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1342 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1343 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1344 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1345 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1346 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1347 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1348 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1349 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1350 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1351 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1354 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1355 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1356 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1357 deprecated and causes warnings).
1358 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1359 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1360 in the correct order.
1361 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1363 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1364 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1365 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1368 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1369 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1370 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1371 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1372 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1374 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1375 exception classes need to implement.
1376 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1377 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1380 Refactoring / cleanups:
1381 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1382 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1383 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1384 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1385 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1386 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1387 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1389 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1392 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1393 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1394 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1395 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1397 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1398 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1399 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1402 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1403 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1406 Refactoring / cleanups:
1407 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1408 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1409 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1410 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1411 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1413 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1416 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1417 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1418 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1419 now loaded at most once + tests.
1420 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1421 is returned to 'actions'.
1422 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1423 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1425 Refactoring / cleanups:
1426 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1427 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1430 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1431 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1432 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1434 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1437 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1438 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1441 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1444 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1445 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1446 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1448 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1451 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1452 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1453 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1455 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1458 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1459 application class immutable without that option.
1460 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1461 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1463 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1464 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1465 (hopefully) future versions.
1466 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1467 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1468 variables (RT#48555)
1469 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1471 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1472 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1473 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1474 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1475 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1477 Refactoring / cleanups:
1478 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1479 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1480 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1481 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1482 known issues with 5.8.3.
1483 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1484 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1487 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1488 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1489 for the controller namespace
1490 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1491 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1492 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1493 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1494 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1495 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1497 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1498 frontend port (jshirley)
1499 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1503 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1504 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1505 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1506 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1509 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1512 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1513 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1514 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1516 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1517 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1518 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1519 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1520 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1521 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1525 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1526 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1527 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1530 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1533 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1534 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1536 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1537 in some environments.
1538 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1539 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1540 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1541 except works correctly with closures.
1542 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1543 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1544 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1545 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1546 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1547 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1548 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1551 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1552 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1553 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1554 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1555 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1556 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1558 Refactoring / cleanups:
1559 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1560 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1561 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1562 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1564 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1565 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1566 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1568 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1569 again in Catalyst::Test
1571 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1574 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1575 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1578 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1581 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1582 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1583 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1585 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1588 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1589 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1592 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1593 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1597 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1598 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1599 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1600 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1601 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1603 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1604 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1605 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1606 controller naming. (random)
1607 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1608 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1609 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1610 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1611 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1613 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1615 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1616 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1617 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1619 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1620 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1621 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1622 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1623 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1624 to report 'Unknown Error'
1625 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1626 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1627 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1628 parse_on_demand is on
1630 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1631 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1632 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1633 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1634 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1635 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1636 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1637 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1638 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1640 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1641 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1642 Test::Aggregate is available.
1643 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1644 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1645 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1646 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1647 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1648 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1649 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1650 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1651 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1652 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1653 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1654 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1655 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1656 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1657 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1658 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1659 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1660 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1661 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1663 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1664 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1665 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1666 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1667 configuration in your application.
1669 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1670 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1671 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1673 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1674 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1676 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1677 has been made private
1678 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1679 the request parameters with undef + test
1680 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1681 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1683 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1685 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1686 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1687 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1689 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1690 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1691 warning on recent Moose versions.
1692 - Add delta documentation
1693 - Clean up recursion errors
1694 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1695 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1697 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1698 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1700 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1701 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1702 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1703 tries to chain to itself
1705 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1706 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1707 - Tests for this (radek)
1708 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1709 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1710 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1711 - Tests for this (radek)
1712 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1713 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1714 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1715 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1717 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1718 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1720 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1722 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1723 in production versions
1724 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1725 the correct metaclass
1726 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1727 the restarter process
1728 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1729 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1731 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1732 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

1754 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1755 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1757 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1758 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1818 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1820 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
