4 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
6 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
9 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
10 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
11 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
14 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
17 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
18 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
19 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
21 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
24 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
25 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
29 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
30 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
32 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
33 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
34 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
35 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
36 argv key in the options hash.
37 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
38 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
39 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
40 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
42 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
46 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
47 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
48 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
49 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
50 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
52 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
56 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
57 encoding test controller.
59 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
61 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
62 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
63 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
64 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
66 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
67 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
68 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
69 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
70 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
72 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
76 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
77 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
78 less packed with information of no use.
82 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
84 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
86 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
87 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
88 the single character '0'.
89 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
92 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
93 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
94 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
96 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
98 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
99 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
100 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
101 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
102 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
103 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
104 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
105 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
106 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
107 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
108 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
109 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
111 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
112 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
114 Refactoring / cleanups:
115 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
116 (and then skipped) normally.
119 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
121 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
124 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
125 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
126 on the old behaviour.
128 Refactoring / cleanups:
129 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
130 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
132 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
135 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
136 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
137 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
138 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
139 as there is no recommended alternative.
140 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
141 fallback for fully qualified component names.
142 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
143 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
144 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
145 startup, rather than with the first hit.
146 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
147 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
148 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
149 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
150 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
151 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
152 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
153 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
156 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
157 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
158 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
159 deprecated and causes warnings).
160 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
161 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
162 in the correct order.
163 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
165 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
166 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
167 is deprecated (RT#51489)
170 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
171 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
172 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
173 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
174 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
176 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
177 exception classes need to implement.
178 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
179 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
182 Refactoring / cleanups:
183 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
184 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
185 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
186 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
187 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
188 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
189 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
191 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
194 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
195 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
196 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
197 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
199 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
200 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
201 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
204 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
205 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
208 Refactoring / cleanups:
209 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
210 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
211 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
212 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
213 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
215 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
218 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
219 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
220 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
221 now loaded at most once + tests.
222 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
223 is returned to 'actions'.
224 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
225 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
227 Refactoring / cleanups:
228 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
229 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
232 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
233 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
234 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
236 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
239 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
240 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
243 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
246 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
247 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
248 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
250 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
253 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
254 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
255 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
257 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
260 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
261 application class immutable without that option.
262 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
263 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
265 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
266 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
267 (hopefully) future versions.
268 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
269 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
271 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
273 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
274 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
275 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
276 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
277 Request-URI of the Request-Line
279 Refactoring / cleanups:
280 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
281 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
282 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
283 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
284 known issues with 5.8.3.
285 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
286 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
289 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
290 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
291 for the controller namespace
292 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
293 expand_component_module (rjbs)
294 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
295 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
296 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
297 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
299 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
300 frontend port (jshirley)
301 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
305 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
306 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
307 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
308 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
311 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
314 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
315 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
316 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
318 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
319 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
320 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
321 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
322 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
323 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
327 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
328 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
329 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
332 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
335 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
336 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
338 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
339 in some environments.
340 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
341 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
342 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
343 except works correctly with closures.
344 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
345 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
346 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
348 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
349 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
350 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
353 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
354 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
355 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
356 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
357 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
358 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
360 Refactoring / cleanups:
361 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
362 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
363 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
364 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
366 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
367 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
368 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
370 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
371 again in Catalyst::Test
373 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
376 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
377 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
380 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
383 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
384 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
385 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
387 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
390 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
391 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
394 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
395 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
399 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
400 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
401 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
402 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
403 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
405 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
406 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
407 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
408 controller naming. (random)
409 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
410 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
411 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
412 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
413 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
415 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
417 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
418 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
419 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
421 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
422 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
423 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
424 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
425 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
426 to report 'Unknown Error'
427 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
428 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
429 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
430 parse_on_demand is on
432 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
433 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
434 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
435 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
436 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
437 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
438 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
439 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
440 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
442 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
443 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
444 Test::Aggregate is available.
445 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
446 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
447 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
448 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
449 disabling functionality from base controllers.
450 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
451 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
452 incompatibility issues in some cases.
453 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
454 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
455 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
456 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
457 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
458 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
459 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
460 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
461 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
462 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
463 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
465 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
466 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
467 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
468 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
469 configuration in your application.
471 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
472 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
473 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
475 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
476 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
478 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
479 has been made private
480 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
481 the request parameters with undef + test
482 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
483 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
485 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
487 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
488 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
489 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
491 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
492 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
493 warning on recent Moose versions.
494 - Add delta documentation
495 - Clean up recursion errors
496 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
497 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
499 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
500 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
502 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
503 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
504 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
505 tries to chain to itself
507 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
508 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
509 - Tests for this (radek)
510 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
511 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
512 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
513 - Tests for this (radek)
514 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
515 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
516 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
517 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
519 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
520 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
522 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
524 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
525 in production versions
526 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
527 the correct metaclass
528 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
529 the restarter process
530 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
531 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
533 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
534 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
535 immutable restart correctly.
537 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
538 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
539 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
540 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
541 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
542 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
543 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
544 - namespace::clean related cleanups
545 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
546 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
547 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
548 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
549 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
550 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
551 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
552 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
553 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
554 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
555 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
556 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
557 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
559 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
560 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
561 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
564 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
567 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
568 - Disallow writing to config after setup
569 - Disallow calling setup more than once
570 - Documentation fix regarding overloading of Engine and Dispatcher
572 - Several documentation typo fixes
573 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
574 - Improved upgrading documentation
575 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
576 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
578 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
579 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)

777 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
778 method with a regex as the argument
