1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Announcing the repo is now open for development of Perl Catalyst 'Runner'
4 - http://questhub.io/realm/perl/explore/latest/tag/runner
6 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
7 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
8 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
9 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
10 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
13 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
14 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
15 reported while installing.
16 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
17 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
18 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
19 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
20 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
21 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
22 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
23 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
24 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
25 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
26 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
27 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
28 - update copyright notices.
30 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
31 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
32 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
33 fails to install (sorry).
34 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
35 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
36 middleware deal with it.
38 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
39 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
40 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
41 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
42 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
43 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
44 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
45 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
46 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
48 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
49 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
50 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
51 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
52 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
53 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
54 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
55 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
56 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
57 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
59 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
60 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
61 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
62 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
66 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
67 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
68 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
69 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
70 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
71 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
75 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
76 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
77 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
79 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
80 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
81 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
83 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
84 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
85 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
86 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
88 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
89 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
90 - Various POD formating fixed.
91 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
92 accept and issues that might arise.
95 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
96 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
99 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
100 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
101 for internal methods:
103 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
104 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
105 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
107 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
108 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
109 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
110 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
112 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
113 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
114 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
116 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
117 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
118 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
119 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
120 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
122 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
123 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
124 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
125 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
126 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
127 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
128 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
129 cases to reflect this change.
131 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
132 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
133 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
134 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
135 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
136 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
137 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
138 those keys already exist). Keys added:
139 - plack.request.query
141 - plack.request.merged
142 - plack.request.http.body
143 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
144 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
145 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
146 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
147 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
148 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
149 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
150 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
151 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
152 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
153 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
154 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
155 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
156 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
157 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
158 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
159 is a scalar or arrayref.
160 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
161 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
163 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
164 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
165 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
167 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
168 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
169 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
170 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
171 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
172 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
173 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
174 a development setup (ether++)
176 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
177 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
178 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
179 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
180 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
181 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
182 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
183 case t/data_handler.t
185 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
186 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
187 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
188 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
189 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
192 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
193 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
194 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
195 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
197 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
199 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
203 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
204 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
205 this fixes all of them.
206 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
207 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
208 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
209 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
211 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
214 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
215 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
216 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
217 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
218 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
219 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
220 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
222 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
223 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
224 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
225 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
226 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
227 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
229 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
230 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
231 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
232 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
233 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
234 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
235 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
236 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
238 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
241 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
242 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
243 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
244 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
245 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
246 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
248 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
249 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
250 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
251 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
252 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
253 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
256 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
257 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
258 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
259 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
260 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
261 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
262 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
263 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
264 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
265 in behavior is compatible on its own.
266 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
267 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
268 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
269 - Some test and documentation improvements
271 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
272 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
273 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
274 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
277 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
278 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
281 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
282 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
284 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
285 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
287 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
289 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
290 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
292 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
294 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
295 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
296 of request or response classes.
298 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
299 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
300 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
301 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
302 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
303 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
304 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
305 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
306 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
307 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
309 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
310 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
311 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
312 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
313 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
315 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
317 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
318 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
320 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
322 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
323 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
324 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
327 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
330 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
333 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
334 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
336 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
339 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
342 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
344 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
346 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
348 Distribution META.yml changes:
349 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
350 mis-parses from the documentation.
351 - x_authority key added.
354 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
355 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
357 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
358 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
359 is less than helpful.
361 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
362 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
363 in bleadperl. RT#76437
365 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
366 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
369 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
370 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
372 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
373 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
374 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
376 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
379 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
380 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
381 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
382 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
383 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
384 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
386 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
388 - --background option for the server script now only closes
389 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
390 and other loggers which open a file handle when
391 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
392 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
393 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
396 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
399 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
400 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
401 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
402 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
404 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
407 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
410 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
411 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
412 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
413 included when not running from a checkout.
415 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
417 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
418 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
419 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
421 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
423 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
425 New features and refactoring:
426 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
427 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
428 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
430 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
431 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
432 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
435 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
436 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
437 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
439 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
441 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
442 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
443 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
444 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
445 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
446 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
448 Back compatibility fixes:
449 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
450 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
451 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
454 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
457 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
458 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
459 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
461 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
462 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
463 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
465 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
468 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
469 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
470 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
471 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
472 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
475 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
476 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
478 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
479 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
480 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
482 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
485 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
486 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
487 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
488 get them passed through to the application.
491 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
492 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
493 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
494 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
497 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
498 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
499 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
500 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
502 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
503 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
504 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
506 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
507 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
509 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
513 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
514 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
515 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
516 whereas before you had to say:
517 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
518 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
519 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
522 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
523 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
524 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
525 scripts in the application.
526 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
527 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
528 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
533 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
535 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
536 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
537 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
538 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
539 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
540 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
541 and provide an alternative.
543 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
547 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
550 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
553 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
555 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
556 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
557 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
558 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
559 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
560 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
564 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
565 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
567 Backward compatibility fixes:
569 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
570 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
574 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
575 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
577 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
579 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
581 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
582 Backward compatibility fixes:
584 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
585 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
587 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
591 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
592 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
593 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
595 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
597 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
598 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
600 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
604 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
606 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
608 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
610 Backward compatibility fixes:
612 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
614 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
615 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
616 for backward compatibility.
620 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
621 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
625 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
626 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
627 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
629 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
631 Backward compatibility fixes:
633 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
634 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
638 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
641 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
642 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
643 example) Coro is loaded.
645 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
646 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
648 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
649 using MooseX::Deamonize
651 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
652 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
653 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
654 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
655 deployed in these environments.
659 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
663 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
664 file for your application.
666 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
670 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
671 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
673 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
676 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
677 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
679 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
681 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
682 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
684 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
685 IO::Handle's behaviour.
687 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
688 was not breaking out correctly
690 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
691 to also work in the $c->component method.
693 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
694 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
695 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
697 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
699 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
701 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
703 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
704 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
707 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
709 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
712 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
716 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
717 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
718 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
720 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
723 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
725 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
726 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
727 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
729 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
732 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
733 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
734 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
735 the new major version of Catalyst.
738 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
739 of Catalyst has been much improved.
741 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
744 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
745 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
746 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
748 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
750 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
751 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
752 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
754 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
757 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
758 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
759 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
761 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
762 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
766 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
767 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
769 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
770 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
771 developers without changing their application code.
773 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
776 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
777 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
778 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
779 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
780 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
782 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
783 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
785 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
787 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
791 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
792 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
793 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
794 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
795 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
796 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
797 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
799 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
800 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
801 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
802 class, please tell us *now*.
804 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
807 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
809 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
810 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
811 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
812 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
813 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
814 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
817 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
818 the Content-Length header appropriately)
819 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
820 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
821 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
822 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
823 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
824 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
826 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
827 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
828 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
829 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
830 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
831 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
832 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
833 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
836 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
837 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
839 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
842 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
843 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
847 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
848 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
850 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
853 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
855 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
856 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
858 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
860 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
863 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
865 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
868 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
869 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
870 load Utils before MyApp.pm
872 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
875 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
877 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
878 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
879 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
880 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
881 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
883 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
886 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
887 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
888 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
891 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
892 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
897 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
900 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
903 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
904 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
905 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
906 the default action creation.
909 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
910 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
911 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
912 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
913 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
914 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
915 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
918 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
920 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
922 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
924 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
927 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
928 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
929 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
930 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
931 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
934 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
935 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
938 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
939 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
940 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
941 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
943 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
946 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
947 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
948 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
949 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
950 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
951 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
952 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
953 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
956 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
957 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
958 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
960 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
961 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
962 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
963 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
966 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
967 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
970 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
971 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
974 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
977 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
978 the content type and content length if available.
980 Refactoring / optimizations:
981 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
982 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
983 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
984 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
985 screen as easy to write.
986 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
987 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
988 in parameter filtering (for example).
989 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
990 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
991 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
992 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
993 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
996 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
997 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
998 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
999 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1001 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1004 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1005 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1007 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1010 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1011 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1013 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1016 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1017 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1018 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1019 which should not be encoded.
1020 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1021 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1023 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1024 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1025 any set of args/captures.
1027 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1028 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1030 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1034 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1036 - Various minor typo fixes.
1039 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1041 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1044 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1045 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1046 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1049 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1050 - Clarify documentation about debug
1053 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1054 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1055 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1057 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1060 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1061 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1065 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1066 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1068 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1069 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1070 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1071 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1072 argv key in the options hash.
1073 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1074 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1075 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1076 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1078 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1082 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1083 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1084 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1085 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1086 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1088 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1092 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1093 encoding test controller.
1095 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1097 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1098 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1099 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1100 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1102 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1103 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1104 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1105 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1106 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1108 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1112 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1113 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1114 less packed with information of no use.
1118 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1120 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1122 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1123 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1124 the single character '0'.
1125 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1128 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1129 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1130 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1132 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1134 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1135 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1136 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1137 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1138 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1139 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1140 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1141 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1142 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1143 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1144 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1145 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1147 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1148 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1150 Refactoring / cleanups:
1151 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1152 (and then skipped) normally.
1155 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1157 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1160 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1161 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1162 on the old behaviour.
1164 Refactoring / cleanups:
1165 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1166 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1168 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1171 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1172 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1173 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1174 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1175 as there is no recommended alternative.
1176 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1177 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1178 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1179 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1180 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1181 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1182 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1183 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1184 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1185 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1186 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1187 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1188 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1189 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1192 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1193 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1194 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1195 deprecated and causes warnings).
1196 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1197 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1198 in the correct order.
1199 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1201 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1202 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1203 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1206 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1207 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1208 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1209 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1210 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1212 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1213 exception classes need to implement.
1214 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1215 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1218 Refactoring / cleanups:
1219 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1220 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1221 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1222 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1223 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1224 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1225 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1227 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1230 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1231 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1232 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1233 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1235 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1236 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1237 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1240 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1241 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1244 Refactoring / cleanups:
1245 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1246 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1247 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1248 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1249 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1251 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1254 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1255 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1256 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1257 now loaded at most once + tests.
1258 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1259 is returned to 'actions'.
1260 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1261 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1263 Refactoring / cleanups:
1264 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1265 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1268 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1269 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1270 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1272 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1275 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1276 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1279 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1282 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1283 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1284 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1286 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1289 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1290 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1291 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1293 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1296 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1297 application class immutable without that option.
1298 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1299 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1301 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1302 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1303 (hopefully) future versions.
1304 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1305 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1306 variables (RT#48555)
1307 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1309 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1310 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1311 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1312 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1313 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1315 Refactoring / cleanups:
1316 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1317 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1318 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1319 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1320 known issues with 5.8.3.
1321 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1322 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1325 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1326 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1327 for the controller namespace
1328 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1329 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1330 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1331 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1332 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1333 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1335 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1336 frontend port (jshirley)
1337 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1341 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1342 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1343 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1344 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1347 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1350 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1351 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1352 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1354 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1355 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1356 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1357 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1358 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1359 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1363 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1364 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1365 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1368 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1371 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1372 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1374 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1375 in some environments.
1376 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1377 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1378 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1379 except works correctly with closures.
1380 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1381 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1382 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1383 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1384 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1385 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1386 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1389 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1390 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1391 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1392 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1393 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1394 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1396 Refactoring / cleanups:
1397 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1398 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1399 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1400 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1402 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1403 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1404 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1406 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1407 again in Catalyst::Test
1409 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1412 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1413 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1416 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1419 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1420 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1421 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1423 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1426 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1427 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1430 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1431 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1435 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1436 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1437 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1438 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1439 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1441 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1442 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1443 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1444 controller naming. (random)
1445 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1446 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1447 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1448 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1449 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1451 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1455 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1457 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1458 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1459 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1460 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1461 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1462 to report 'Unknown Error'
1463 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1464 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1465 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1466 parse_on_demand is on
1468 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1469 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1470 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1471 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1472 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1473 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1475 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1476 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1478 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1479 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1480 Test::Aggregate is available.
1481 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1482 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1483 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1484 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1485 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1494 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1495 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1496 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1497 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1498 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1499 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1501 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1502 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1503 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1504 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1505 configuration in your application.
1507 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1508 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1509 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1511 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1512 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1514 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1515 has been made private
1516 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten

1519 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1521 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1523 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1524 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1525 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1527 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1528 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1529 warning on recent Moose versions.
1530 - Add delta documentation
1531 - Clean up recursion errors
1532 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1533 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1535 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1536 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1538 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1539 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1540 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1541 tries to chain to itself
1543 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1544 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1545 - Tests for this (radek)
1546 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1547 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1548 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1549 - Tests for this (radek)
1550 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1551 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1552 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1553 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1555 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1556 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1558 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1560 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1561 in production versions
1562 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1563 the correct metaclass
1564 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1565 the restarter process
1566 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1567 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1569 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1570 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1571 immutable restart correctly.
1573 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1574 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1584 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1585 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1586 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1587 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1588 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1589 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1590 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1591 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1592 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1593 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1595 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1596 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1597 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1600 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1628 keep-alive requests.
1629 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1630 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1631 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1632 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1634 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1635 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1636 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1637 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1638 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1639 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1640 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller

1644 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1645 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1646 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1647 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1648 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1649 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1650 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1651 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1652 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1653 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1655 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1656 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1658 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1659 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1660 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1662 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1663 test sync for engines easier
1664 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1665 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1667 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1668 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1669 rather than the stringified ref.
1670 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
1671 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
1672 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1673 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1674 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1676 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1677 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1678 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1680 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1681 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1682 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1683 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1684 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1685 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1686 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1688 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1689 the key from the instance hash
1690 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1691 trivial delegation methods
1692 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
