1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Remove the erroneous --detach option from Catalyst::Script::FastCGI
5 - --daemon option to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI is fixed.
6 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
9 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
13 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
14 encoding test controller.
16 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
18 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
19 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
20 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
21 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
23 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
24 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
25 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
26 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
27 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
29 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
33 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
34 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
35 less packed with information of no use.
39 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
41 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
43 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
44 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
45 the single character '0'.
46 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
49 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
50 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
51 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
53 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
55 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
56 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
57 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
58 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
59 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
60 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
61 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
62 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
63 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
64 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
65 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
66 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
68 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
69 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
71 Refactoring / cleanups:
72 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
73 (and then skipped) normally.
76 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
78 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
81 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
82 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
85 Refactoring / cleanups:
86 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
87 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
89 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
92 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
93 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
94 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
95 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
96 as there is no recommended alternative.
97 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
98 fallback for fully qualified component names.
99 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
100 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
101 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
102 startup, rather than with the first hit.
103 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
104 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
105 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
106 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
107 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
108 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
109 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
110 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
113 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
114 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
115 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
116 deprecated and causes warnings).
117 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
118 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
119 in the correct order.
120 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
122 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
123 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
124 is deprecated (RT#51489)
127 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
128 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
129 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
130 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
131 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
133 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
134 exception classes need to implement.
135 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
136 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
139 Refactoring / cleanups:
140 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
141 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
142 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
143 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
144 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
145 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
146 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
148 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
151 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
152 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
153 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
154 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
156 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
157 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
158 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
161 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
162 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
165 Refactoring / cleanups:
166 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
167 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
168 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
169 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
170 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
172 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
175 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
176 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
177 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
178 now loaded at most once + tests.
179 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
180 is returned to 'actions'.
181 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
182 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
184 Refactoring / cleanups:
185 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
186 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
189 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
190 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
191 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
193 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
196 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
197 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
200 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
203 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
204 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
205 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
207 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
210 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
211 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
212 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
214 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
217 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
218 application class immutable without that option.
219 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
220 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
222 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
223 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
224 (hopefully) future versions.
225 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
226 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
228 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
230 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
231 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
232 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
233 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
234 Request-URI of the Request-Line
236 Refactoring / cleanups:
237 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
238 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
239 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
240 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
241 known issues with 5.8.3.
242 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
243 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
246 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
247 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
248 for the controller namespace
249 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
250 expand_component_module (rjbs)
251 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
252 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
253 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
254 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
256 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
257 frontend port (jshirley)
258 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
262 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
263 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
264 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
265 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
268 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
271 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
272 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
273 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
275 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
276 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
277 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
278 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
279 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
280 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
284 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
285 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
286 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
289 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
292 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
293 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
295 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
296 in some environments.
297 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
298 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
299 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
300 except works correctly with closures.
301 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
302 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
303 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
305 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
306 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
307 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
310 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
311 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
312 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
313 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
314 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
315 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
317 Refactoring / cleanups:
318 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
319 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
320 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
321 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
323 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
324 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
325 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
327 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
328 again in Catalyst::Test
330 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
333 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
334 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
337 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
340 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
341 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
342 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
344 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
347 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
348 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
351 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
352 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
356 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
357 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
358 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
359 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
360 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
362 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
363 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
364 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
365 controller naming. (random)
366 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
367 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
368 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
369 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
370 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
372 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
374 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
375 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
376 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
378 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
379 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
380 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
381 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
382 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
383 to report 'Unknown Error'
384 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
385 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
386 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
387 parse_on_demand is on
389 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
390 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
391 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
392 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
393 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
394 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
395 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
396 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
397 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
399 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
400 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
401 Test::Aggregate is available.
402 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
403 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
404 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
405 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
406 disabling functionality from base controllers.
407 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
408 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
409 incompatibility issues in some cases.

413 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
414 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
415 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
416 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
417 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
418 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
419 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
420 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
422 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
423 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
424 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
425 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
426 configuration in your application.
428 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
429 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
430 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
432 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
433 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
435 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
436 has been made private
437 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
438 the request parameters with undef + test
439 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
440 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
442 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
444 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
445 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
446 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
448 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
449 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
450 warning on recent Moose versions.
451 - Add delta documentation
452 - Clean up recursion errors
453 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
454 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
456 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
457 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
459 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
460 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
461 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
462 tries to chain to itself
464 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
465 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
466 - Tests for this (radek)
467 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
468 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
469 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
470 - Tests for this (radek)
471 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
472 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
473 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
474 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
476 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
477 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
479 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
481 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
482 in production versions
483 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
484 the correct metaclass
485 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
486 the restarter process
487 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
488 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
490 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
491 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
492 immutable restart correctly.
494 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
495 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
496 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
497 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
498 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test

502 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
503 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
504 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
505 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
506 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
507 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
508 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
509 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
510 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
511 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
512 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
513 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
514 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
516 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
517 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
518 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
521 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
524 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

550 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
551 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
552 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
553 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
555 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
556 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
557 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
558 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
559 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
560 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
561 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
562 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
563 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
564 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
565 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
566 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
567 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
569 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
570 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
571 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
572 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
