4 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
5 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
6 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
7 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
8 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
10 Refactoring / cleanups:
11 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
12 (and then skipped) normally.
15 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
17 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
20 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
21 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
24 Refactoring / cleanups:
25 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
26 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
28 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
31 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
32 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
33 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
34 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
35 as there is no recommended alternative.
36 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
37 fallback for fully qualified component names.
38 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
39 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
40 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
41 startup, rather than with the first hit.
42 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
43 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
44 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
45 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
46 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
47 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
48 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
49 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
52 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
53 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
54 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
55 deprecated and causes warnings).
56 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
57 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
59 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
61 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
62 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
63 is deprecated (RT#51489)
66 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
67 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
68 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
69 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
70 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
72 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
73 exception classes need to implement.
74 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
75 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
78 Refactoring / cleanups:
79 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
80 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
81 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
82 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
83 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
84 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
85 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
87 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
90 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
91 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
92 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
93 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
95 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
96 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
97 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
100 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
101 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
104 Refactoring / cleanups:
105 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
106 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
107 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
108 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
109 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
111 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
114 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
115 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
116 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
117 now loaded at most once + tests.
118 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
119 is returned to 'actions'.
120 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
121 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
123 Refactoring / cleanups:
124 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
125 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
128 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
129 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
130 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
132 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
135 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
136 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
139 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
142 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
143 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
144 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
146 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
149 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
150 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
151 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
153 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
156 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
157 application class immutable without that option.
158 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
159 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
161 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
162 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
163 (hopefully) future versions.
164 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
165 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
167 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
169 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
170 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
171 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
172 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
173 Request-URI of the Request-Line
175 Refactoring / cleanups:
176 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
177 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
178 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
179 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
180 known issues with 5.8.3.
181 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
182 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
185 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
186 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
187 for the controller namespace
188 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
189 expand_component_module (rjbs)
190 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
191 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
192 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
193 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
195 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
196 frontend port (jshirley)
197 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
201 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
202 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
203 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
204 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
207 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
210 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
211 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
212 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
214 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
215 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
216 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
217 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
218 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
219 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
223 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
224 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
225 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
228 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
231 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
232 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
234 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
235 in some environments.
236 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
237 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
238 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
239 except works correctly with closures.
240 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
241 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
242 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
244 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
245 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
246 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
249 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
250 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
251 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
252 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
253 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
254 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
256 Refactoring / cleanups:
257 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
258 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
259 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
260 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
262 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
263 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
264 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
266 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
267 again in Catalyst::Test
269 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
272 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
273 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
276 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
279 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
280 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
281 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
283 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
286 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
287 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
290 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
291 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
295 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
296 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
297 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
298 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
299 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
301 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
302 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
303 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
304 controller naming. (random)

306 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
307 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
308 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
309 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
311 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
313 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
314 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
315 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
317 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
318 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
319 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
320 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
321 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
322 to report 'Unknown Error'
323 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
324 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
325 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
326 parse_on_demand is on

335 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
336 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
338 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
339 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
340 Test::Aggregate is available.
341 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
342 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
343 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

353 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
354 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
355 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
356 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
357 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
358 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
359 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
361 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
362 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
363 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
364 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
365 configuration in your application.
367 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
368 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
369 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
371 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
372 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

377 the request parameters with undef + test
378 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
379 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
381 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
383 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
384 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
385 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
387 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
388 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
389 warning on recent Moose versions.
390 - Add delta documentation
391 - Clean up recursion errors
392 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
393 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
395 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
396 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
398 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
399 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
400 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
401 tries to chain to itself
403 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
404 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
405 - Tests for this (radek)
406 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
407 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
408 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
409 - Tests for this (radek)
410 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
411 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
412 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
413 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
415 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
416 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
418 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
420 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
421 in production versions
422 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
423 the correct metaclass
424 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
425 the restarter process
426 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
427 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
429 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
430 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
431 immutable restart correctly.
433 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
434 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
435 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
436 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

447 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
448 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
449 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
450 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
451 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
452 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
453 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
455 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
456 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
457 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
460 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

492 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
494 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
495 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
496 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

508 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
509 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
510 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
511 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
512 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
513 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
515 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
516 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
518 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
519 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
520 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
522 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
523 test sync for engines easier
524 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
525 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
527 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
528 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
529 rather than the stringified ref.
530 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
531 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
532 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp

542 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
543 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
544 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
545 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
546 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on
547 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
548 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
549 the key from the instance hash
550 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
551 trivial delegation methods
552 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
553 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
