4 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
5 the content type and content length if available.
7 Refactoring / optimizations:
8 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
9 log_headers, log_request and log_response methods which all call
10 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
11 in parameter filtering (for example).
12 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
13 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
14 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
15 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
16 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
19 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
20 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
21 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
22 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
24 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
27 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
28 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
30 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
33 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
34 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
36 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
39 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
40 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
41 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
42 which should not be encoded.
43 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
44 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
46 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
47 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
48 any set of args/captures.
50 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
51 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
53 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
57 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
59 - Various minor typo fixes.
62 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
64 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
67 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
68 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
69 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
72 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
73 - Clarify documentation about debug
76 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
77 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
78 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
80 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
83 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
84 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
88 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
89 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
91 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
92 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
93 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
94 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
95 argv key in the options hash.
96 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
97 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
98 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
99 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
101 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
105 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
106 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
107 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
108 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
109 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
111 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
115 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
116 encoding test controller.
118 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
120 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
121 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
122 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
123 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
125 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
126 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
127 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
128 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
129 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
131 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
135 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
136 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
137 less packed with information of no use.
141 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
143 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
145 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
146 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
147 the single character '0'.
148 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
151 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
152 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
153 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
155 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
157 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
158 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
159 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
160 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
161 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
162 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
163 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
164 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
165 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
166 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
167 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
168 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
170 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
171 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
173 Refactoring / cleanups:
174 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
175 (and then skipped) normally.
178 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
180 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
183 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
184 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
185 on the old behaviour.
187 Refactoring / cleanups:
188 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
189 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
191 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
194 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
195 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
196 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
197 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
198 as there is no recommended alternative.
199 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
200 fallback for fully qualified component names.
201 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
202 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
203 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
204 startup, rather than with the first hit.
205 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
206 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
207 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
208 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
209 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
210 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
211 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
212 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
215 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
216 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
217 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
218 deprecated and causes warnings).
219 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
220 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
221 in the correct order.
222 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
224 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
225 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
226 is deprecated (RT#51489)
229 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
230 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
231 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
232 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
233 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
235 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
236 exception classes need to implement.
237 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
238 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
241 Refactoring / cleanups:
242 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
243 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
244 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
245 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
246 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
247 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
248 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
250 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
253 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
254 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
255 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
256 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
258 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
259 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
260 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
263 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
264 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
267 Refactoring / cleanups:
268 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
269 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
270 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
271 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
272 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
274 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
277 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
278 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
279 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
280 now loaded at most once + tests.
281 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
282 is returned to 'actions'.
283 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
284 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
286 Refactoring / cleanups:
287 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
288 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
291 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
292 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
293 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
295 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
298 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
299 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
302 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
305 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
306 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
307 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
309 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
312 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
313 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
314 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
316 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
319 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
320 application class immutable without that option.
321 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
322 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
324 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
325 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
326 (hopefully) future versions.
327 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
328 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
330 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
332 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
333 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
334 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
335 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
336 Request-URI of the Request-Line
338 Refactoring / cleanups:
339 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
340 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
341 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
342 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
343 known issues with 5.8.3.
344 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
345 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
348 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
349 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
350 for the controller namespace
351 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
352 expand_component_module (rjbs)
353 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
354 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
355 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
356 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
358 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
359 frontend port (jshirley)
360 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
364 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
365 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
366 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
367 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
370 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
373 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
374 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
375 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
377 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
378 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
379 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
380 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
381 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
382 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
386 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
387 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
388 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
391 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
394 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
395 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
397 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
398 in some environments.
399 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
400 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
401 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
402 except works correctly with closures.
403 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
404 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
405 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
407 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
408 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
409 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
412 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
413 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
414 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
415 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
416 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
417 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
419 Refactoring / cleanups:
420 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
421 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
422 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
423 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
425 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
426 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
427 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
429 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
430 again in Catalyst::Test
432 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
435 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
436 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
439 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
442 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
443 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
444 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
446 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
449 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
450 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
453 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
454 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
458 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
459 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
460 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
461 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
462 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
464 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
465 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
466 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
467 controller naming. (random)
468 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
469 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
470 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
471 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
472 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
474 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
476 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
477 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
478 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
480 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
481 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
482 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
483 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
484 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
485 to report 'Unknown Error'
486 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
487 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
488 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
489 parse_on_demand is on
491 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
492 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
493 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
494 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
495 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
496 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
497 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
498 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
499 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
501 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
502 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
503 Test::Aggregate is available.
504 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
505 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
506 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
507 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
508 disabling functionality from base controllers.
509 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
510 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
511 incompatibility issues in some cases.
512 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
513 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
514 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
515 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
516 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
517 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
518 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
519 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
520 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
521 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
522 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
524 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
525 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
526 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
527 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
528 configuration in your application.
530 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
531 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
532 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
534 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
535 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
537 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
538 has been made private
539 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
540 the request parameters with undef + test
541 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
542 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
544 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
546 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
547 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
548 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
550 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
551 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
552 warning on recent Moose versions.
553 - Add delta documentation
554 - Clean up recursion errors
555 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
556 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
558 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
559 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
561 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
562 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
563 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
564 tries to chain to itself
566 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
567 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
568 - Tests for this (radek)
569 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
570 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
571 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
572 - Tests for this (radek)
573 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
574 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
575 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
576 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
578 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
579 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
581 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
583 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
584 in production versions
585 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
586 the correct metaclass
587 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
588 the restarter process
589 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
590 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
592 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
593 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
594 immutable restart correctly.
596 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
597 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

610 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
611 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
612 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
613 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
614 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
615 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
616 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
618 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
619 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
620 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
623 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

658 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
659 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

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