4 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
5 encoding test controller.
6 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
7 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
10 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
11 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
12 less packed with information of no use.
15 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
17 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
19 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
20 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
21 the single character '0'.
22 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
25 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
26 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
27 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
29 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
31 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
32 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
33 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
34 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
35 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
36 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
37 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
38 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
39 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
40 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
41 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
42 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
44 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
45 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
47 Refactoring / cleanups:
48 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
49 (and then skipped) normally.
52 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
54 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
57 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
58 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
61 Refactoring / cleanups:
62 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
63 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
65 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
68 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
69 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
70 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
71 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
72 as there is no recommended alternative.
73 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
74 fallback for fully qualified component names.
75 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
76 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
77 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
78 startup, rather than with the first hit.
79 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
80 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
81 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
82 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
83 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
84 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
85 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
86 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
89 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
90 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
91 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
92 deprecated and causes warnings).
93 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
94 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
96 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
98 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
99 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
100 is deprecated (RT#51489)
103 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
104 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
105 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
106 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
107 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
109 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
110 exception classes need to implement.
111 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
112 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
115 Refactoring / cleanups:
116 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
117 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
118 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
119 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
120 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
121 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
122 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
124 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
127 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
128 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
129 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
130 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
132 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
133 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
134 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
137 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
138 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
141 Refactoring / cleanups:
142 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
143 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
144 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
145 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
146 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
148 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
151 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
152 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
153 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
154 now loaded at most once + tests.
155 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
156 is returned to 'actions'.
157 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
158 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
160 Refactoring / cleanups:
161 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
162 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
165 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
166 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
167 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
169 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
172 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
173 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
176 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
179 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
180 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
181 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
183 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
186 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
187 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
188 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
190 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
193 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
194 application class immutable without that option.
195 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
196 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
198 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
199 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
200 (hopefully) future versions.
201 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
202 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
204 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
206 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
207 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
208 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
209 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
210 Request-URI of the Request-Line
212 Refactoring / cleanups:
213 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
214 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
215 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
216 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
217 known issues with 5.8.3.
218 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
219 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
222 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
223 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
224 for the controller namespace
225 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
226 expand_component_module (rjbs)
227 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
228 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
229 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
230 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
232 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
233 frontend port (jshirley)
234 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
238 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
239 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
240 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
241 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
244 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
247 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
248 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
249 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
251 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
252 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
253 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
254 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
255 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
256 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
260 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
261 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
262 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
265 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
268 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
269 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
271 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
272 in some environments.
273 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
274 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
275 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
276 except works correctly with closures.
277 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
278 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
279 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
281 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
282 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
283 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
286 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
287 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
288 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
289 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
290 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
291 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
293 Refactoring / cleanups:
294 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
295 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
296 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
297 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
299 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
300 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
301 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
303 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
304 again in Catalyst::Test
306 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
309 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
310 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
313 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
316 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
317 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
318 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
320 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
323 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
324 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
327 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
328 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
332 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
333 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
334 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
335 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
336 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
338 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
339 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
340 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
341 controller naming. (random)
342 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
343 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
344 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
345 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
346 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
348 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
350 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
351 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
352 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
354 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
355 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
356 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
357 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
358 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
359 to report 'Unknown Error'
360 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
361 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
362 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
363 parse_on_demand is on
365 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
366 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
367 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.

371 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
372 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
373 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
375 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
376 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
377 Test::Aggregate is available.
378 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
379 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
380 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
381 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
382 disabling functionality from base controllers.
383 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
384 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
385 incompatibility issues in some cases.

390 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
391 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
392 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
393 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
394 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
395 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
396 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
398 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
399 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
400 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
401 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
402 configuration in your application.
404 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
405 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
406 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
408 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
409 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
411 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
412 has been made private
413 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
414 the request parameters with undef + test
415 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
416 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
418 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
420 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
421 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
422 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
424 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
425 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
426 warning on recent Moose versions.
427 - Add delta documentation
428 - Clean up recursion errors
429 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
430 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
432 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
433 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
435 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
436 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
437 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
438 tries to chain to itself
440 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
441 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
442 - Tests for this (radek)
443 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
444 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
445 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
446 - Tests for this (radek)
447 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
448 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
449 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
450 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
452 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
453 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
455 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
457 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
458 in production versions
459 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
460 the correct metaclass
461 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
462 the restarter process
463 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
464 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
466 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
467 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
468 immutable restart correctly.
470 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
471 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
472 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
473 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
474 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test

477 - namespace::clean related cleanups
478 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
479 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
480 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
481 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
482 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
483 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
484 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
485 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
486 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
487 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
488 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
489 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
490 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
492 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
493 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
494 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
497 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

545 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
546 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
547 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
548 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
549 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
550 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
552 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
553 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
555 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
556 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

559 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
560 test sync for engines easier
561 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
562 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
564 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
565 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
