1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 Distribution META.yml changes:
4 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
5 mis-parses from the documentation.
6 - x_authority key added.
9 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
10 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
12 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
13 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
16 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
17 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
18 in bleadperl. RT#76437
21 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
22 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
24 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
25 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
26 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
28 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
31 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
32 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
33 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
34 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
35 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
36 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
38 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
40 - --background option for the server script now only closes
41 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
42 and other loggers which open a file handle when
43 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
44 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
45 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
48 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
51 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
52 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
53 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
54 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
56 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
59 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
62 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
63 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
64 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
65 included when not running from a checkout.
67 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
69 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
70 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
71 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
73 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
75 New features and refactoring:
76 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
77 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
78 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
80 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
81 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
82 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
85 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
86 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
87 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
89 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
91 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
92 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
93 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
94 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
95 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
96 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
98 Back compatibility fixes:
99 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
100 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
101 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
104 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
107 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
108 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
109 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
111 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
112 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
113 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
115 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
118 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
119 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
120 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
121 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
122 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
125 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
126 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
128 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
129 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
130 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
132 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
135 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
136 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
137 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
138 get them passed through to the application.
141 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
142 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
143 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
144 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
147 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
148 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
149 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
150 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
152 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
153 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
154 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
156 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
157 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
159 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
163 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
164 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
165 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
166 whereas before you had to say:
167 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
168 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
169 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
172 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
173 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
174 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
175 scripts in the application.
176 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
177 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
178 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
183 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
185 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
186 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
187 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
188 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
189 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
190 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
191 and provide an alternative.
193 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
197 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
200 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
203 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
205 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
206 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
207 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
208 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
209 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
210 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
214 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
215 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
217 Backward compatibility fixes:
219 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
220 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
224 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
225 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
227 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
229 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
231 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
232 Backward compatibility fixes:
234 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
235 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
237 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
241 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
242 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
243 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
245 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
247 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
248 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
250 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
254 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
256 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
258 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
260 Backward compatibility fixes:
262 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
264 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
265 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
266 for backward compatibility.
270 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
271 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
275 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
276 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
277 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
279 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
281 Backward compatibility fixes:
283 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
284 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
288 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
291 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
292 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
293 example) Coro is loaded.
295 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
296 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
298 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
299 using MooseX::Deamonize
301 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
302 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
303 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
304 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
305 deployed in these environments.
309 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
313 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
314 file for your application.
316 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
320 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
321 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
323 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
326 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
327 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
329 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
331 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
332 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
334 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
335 IO::Handle's behaviour.
337 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
338 was not breaking out correctly
340 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
341 to also work in the $c->component method.
343 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
344 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
345 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
347 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
349 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
351 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
353 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
354 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
357 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
359 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
362 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
366 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
367 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
368 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
370 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
373 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
375 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
376 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
377 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
379 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
382 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
383 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
384 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
385 the new major version of Catalyst.
388 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
389 of Catalyst has been much improved.
391 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
394 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
395 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
396 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
398 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
400 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
401 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
402 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
404 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
407 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
408 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
409 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
411 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
412 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
416 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
417 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
419 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
420 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
421 developers without changing their application code.
423 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
426 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
427 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
428 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
429 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
430 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
432 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
433 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
435 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
437 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
441 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
442 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
443 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
444 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
445 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
446 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
447 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
449 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
450 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
451 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
452 class, please tell us *now*.
454 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
457 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
459 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
460 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
461 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
462 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
463 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
464 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
467 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
468 the Content-Length header appropriately)
469 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
470 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
471 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
472 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
473 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
474 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
476 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
477 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
478 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
479 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
480 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
481 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
482 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
483 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
486 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
487 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
489 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
492 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
493 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
497 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
498 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
500 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
503 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
505 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
506 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
508 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
510 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
513 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
515 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
518 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
519 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
520 load Utils before MyApp.pm
522 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
525 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
527 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
528 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
529 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
530 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
531 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
533 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
536 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
537 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
538 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
541 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
542 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
547 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
550 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
553 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
554 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
555 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
556 the default action creation.
559 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
560 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
561 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
562 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
563 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
564 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
565 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
568 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
570 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
572 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
574 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
577 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
578 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
579 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
580 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
581 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
584 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
585 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
588 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
589 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
590 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
591 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
593 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
596 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
597 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
598 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
599 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
600 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
601 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
602 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
603 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
606 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
607 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
608 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
610 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
611 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
612 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
613 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
616 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
617 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
620 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
621 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
624 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
627 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
628 the content type and content length if available.
630 Refactoring / optimizations:
631 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
632 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
633 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
634 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
635 screen as easy to write.
636 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
637 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
638 in parameter filtering (for example).
639 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
640 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
641 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
642 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
643 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
646 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
647 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
648 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
649 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
651 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
654 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
655 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
657 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
660 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
661 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
663 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
666 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
667 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
668 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
669 which should not be encoded.
670 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
671 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
673 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
674 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
675 any set of args/captures.
677 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
678 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
680 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
684 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
686 - Various minor typo fixes.
689 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
691 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
694 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
695 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
696 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
699 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
700 - Clarify documentation about debug
703 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
704 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
705 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
707 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
710 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
711 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
715 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
716 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
718 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
719 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
720 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
721 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
722 argv key in the options hash.
723 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
724 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
725 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
726 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
728 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
732 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
733 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
734 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
735 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
736 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
738 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
742 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
743 encoding test controller.
745 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
747 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
748 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
749 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
750 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
752 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
753 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
754 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
755 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
756 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
758 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
762 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
763 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
764 less packed with information of no use.
768 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
770 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
772 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
773 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
774 the single character '0'.
775 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
778 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
779 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
780 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
782 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
784 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
785 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
786 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
787 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
788 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
789 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
790 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
791 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
792 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
793 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
794 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
795 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
797 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
798 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
800 Refactoring / cleanups:
801 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
802 (and then skipped) normally.
805 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
807 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
810 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
811 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
812 on the old behaviour.
814 Refactoring / cleanups:
815 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
816 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
818 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
821 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
822 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
823 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
824 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
825 as there is no recommended alternative.
826 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
827 fallback for fully qualified component names.
828 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
829 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
830 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
831 startup, rather than with the first hit.
832 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
833 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
834 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
835 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
836 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
837 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
838 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
839 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
842 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
843 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
844 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
845 deprecated and causes warnings).
846 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
847 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
848 in the correct order.
849 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
851 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
852 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
853 is deprecated (RT#51489)
856 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
857 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
858 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
859 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
860 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
862 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
863 exception classes need to implement.
864 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
865 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
868 Refactoring / cleanups:
869 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
870 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
871 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
872 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
873 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
874 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
875 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
877 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
880 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
881 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
882 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
883 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
885 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
886 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
887 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
890 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
891 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
894 Refactoring / cleanups:
895 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
896 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
897 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
898 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
899 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
901 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
904 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
905 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
906 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
907 now loaded at most once + tests.
908 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
909 is returned to 'actions'.
910 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
911 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
913 Refactoring / cleanups:
914 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
915 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
918 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
919 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
920 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
922 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
925 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
926 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
929 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
932 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
933 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
934 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
936 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
939 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
940 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
941 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
943 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
946 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
947 application class immutable without that option.
948 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
949 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
951 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
952 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
953 (hopefully) future versions.
954 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
955 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
957 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
959 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
960 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
961 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
962 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
963 Request-URI of the Request-Line
965 Refactoring / cleanups:
966 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
967 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
968 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
969 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
970 known issues with 5.8.3.
971 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
972 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
975 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
976 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
977 for the controller namespace
978 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
979 expand_component_module (rjbs)
980 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
981 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
982 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
983 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
985 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
986 frontend port (jshirley)
987 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
991 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
992 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
993 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
994 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
997 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1000 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1001 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1002 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1004 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1005 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1006 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1007 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1008 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1009 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1013 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1014 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1015 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1018 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1021 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1022 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1024 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1025 in some environments.
1026 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1027 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1028 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1029 except works correctly with closures.
1030 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1031 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1032 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1033 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1034 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1035 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1036 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1039 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1040 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1041 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1042 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1043 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1044 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1046 Refactoring / cleanups:
1047 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1048 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1049 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1050 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1052 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1053 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1054 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1056 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1057 again in Catalyst::Test
1059 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1062 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1063 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1066 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1069 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1070 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1071 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1073 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1076 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1077 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1080 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1081 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1085 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1086 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1087 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1088 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1089 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1091 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1092 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1093 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1094 controller naming. (random)
1095 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1096 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1097 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1098 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1099 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1101 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1103 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1104 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1105 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1107 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1108 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1109 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1110 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1111 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1112 to report 'Unknown Error'
1113 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1114 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1115 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1116 parse_on_demand is on
1118 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1119 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1120 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1121 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1122 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1123 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1124 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1125 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1126 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1128 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1129 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1130 Test::Aggregate is available.
1131 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1132 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1133 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1134 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1135 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1136 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1137 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1138 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1139 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1140 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1141 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1142 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1143 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1144 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1145 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1146 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1147 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1148 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1149 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1151 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1152 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1153 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1154 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1155 configuration in your application.
1157 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1158 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1159 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1161 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1162 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1164 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1165 has been made private
1166 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1167 the request parameters with undef + test
1168 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1169 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1171 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1173 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1174 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1175 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1177 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1178 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1179 warning on recent Moose versions.
1180 - Add delta documentation
1181 - Clean up recursion errors
1182 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1183 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1185 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1186 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1188 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1189 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1190 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1191 tries to chain to itself
1193 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1194 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1195 - Tests for this (radek)
1196 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1197 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1198 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1199 - Tests for this (radek)
1200 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1201 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1202 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1203 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1205 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1206 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1208 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1210 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1211 in production versions
1212 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1213 the correct metaclass
1214 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1215 the restarter process
1216 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1217 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1219 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1220 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1221 immutable restart correctly.
