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.
15 - Clarify documentation about debug
18 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
19 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
20 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
22 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
25 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
26 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
30 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
31 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
33 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
34 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
35 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
36 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
37 argv key in the options hash.
38 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
39 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
40 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
41 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
43 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
47 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
48 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
49 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
50 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
51 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
53 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
57 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
58 encoding test controller.
60 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
62 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
63 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
64 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
65 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
67 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
68 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
69 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
70 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
71 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
73 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
77 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
78 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
79 less packed with information of no use.
83 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
85 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
87 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
88 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
89 the single character '0'.
90 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
93 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
94 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
95 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
97 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
99 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
100 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
101 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
102 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
103 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
104 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
105 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
106 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
107 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
108 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
109 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
110 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
112 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
113 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
115 Refactoring / cleanups:
116 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
117 (and then skipped) normally.
120 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
122 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
125 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
126 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
127 on the old behaviour.
129 Refactoring / cleanups:
130 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
131 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
133 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
136 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
137 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
138 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
139 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
140 as there is no recommended alternative.
141 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
142 fallback for fully qualified component names.
143 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
144 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
145 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
146 startup, rather than with the first hit.
147 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
148 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
149 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
150 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
151 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
152 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
153 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
154 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
157 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
158 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
159 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
160 deprecated and causes warnings).
161 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
162 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
163 in the correct order.
164 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
166 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
167 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
168 is deprecated (RT#51489)
171 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
172 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
173 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
174 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
175 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
177 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
178 exception classes need to implement.
179 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
180 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
183 Refactoring / cleanups:
184 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
185 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
186 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
187 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
188 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
189 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
190 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
192 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
195 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
196 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
197 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
198 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
200 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
201 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
202 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
205 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
206 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
209 Refactoring / cleanups:
210 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
211 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
212 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
213 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
214 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
216 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
219 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
220 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
221 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
222 now loaded at most once + tests.
223 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
224 is returned to 'actions'.
225 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
226 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
228 Refactoring / cleanups:
229 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
230 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
233 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
234 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
235 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
237 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
240 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
241 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
244 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
247 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
248 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
249 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
251 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
254 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
255 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
256 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
258 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
261 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
262 application class immutable without that option.
263 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
264 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
266 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
267 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
268 (hopefully) future versions.
269 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
270 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
272 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
274 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
275 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
276 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
277 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
278 Request-URI of the Request-Line
280 Refactoring / cleanups:
281 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
282 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
283 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
284 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
285 known issues with 5.8.3.
286 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
287 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
290 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
291 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
292 for the controller namespace
293 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
294 expand_component_module (rjbs)
295 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
296 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
297 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
298 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
300 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
301 frontend port (jshirley)
302 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
306 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
307 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
308 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
309 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
312 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
315 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
316 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
317 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
319 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
320 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
321 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
322 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
323 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
324 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
328 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
329 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
330 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
333 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
336 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
337 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
339 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
340 in some environments.
341 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
342 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
343 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
344 except works correctly with closures.
345 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
346 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
347 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
349 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
350 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
351 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
354 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
355 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
356 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
357 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
358 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
359 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
361 Refactoring / cleanups:
362 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
363 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
364 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
365 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
367 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
368 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
369 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
371 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
372 again in Catalyst::Test
374 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
377 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
378 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
381 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
384 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
385 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
386 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
388 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
391 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
392 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
395 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
396 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
400 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
401 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
402 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
403 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
404 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
406 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
407 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
408 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
409 controller naming. (random)
410 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
411 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
412 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
413 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
414 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
416 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
418 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
419 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
420 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
422 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
423 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
424 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
425 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
426 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
427 to report 'Unknown Error'
428 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
429 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
430 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
431 parse_on_demand is on
433 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
434 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
435 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
436 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
437 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
438 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
439 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
440 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
441 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
443 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
444 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
445 Test::Aggregate is available.
446 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
447 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
448 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
449 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
450 disabling functionality from base controllers.
451 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
452 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
453 incompatibility issues in some cases.
454 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
455 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
456 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
457 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
458 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
459 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
460 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
461 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
462 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
463 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
464 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
466 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
467 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
468 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
469 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
470 configuration in your application.
472 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
473 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
474 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
476 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
477 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
479 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
480 has been made private
481 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
482 the request parameters with undef + test
483 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
484 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
486 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
488 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
489 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
490 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
492 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
493 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
494 warning on recent Moose versions.
495 - Add delta documentation
496 - Clean up recursion errors
497 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
498 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
500 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
501 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
503 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
504 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
505 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
506 tries to chain to itself
508 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
509 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
510 - Tests for this (radek)
511 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
512 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
513 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
514 - Tests for this (radek)
515 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
516 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
517 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
518 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
520 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
521 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
523 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
525 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
526 in production versions
527 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
528 the correct metaclass
529 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
530 the restarter process
531 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
532 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
534 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
535 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
536 immutable restart correctly.
538 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
539 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
540 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
541 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
542 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
543 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
544 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
545 - namespace::clean related cleanups
546 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
547 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
548 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
549 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
550 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
551 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
552 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
553 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
554 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
555 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
556 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
557 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
558 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
560 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
561 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
562 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
565 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
568 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
569 - Disallow writing to config after setup
570 - Disallow calling setup more than once
571 - Documentation fix regarding overloading of Engine and Dispatcher
573 - Several documentation typo fixes
574 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
575 - Improved upgrading documentation
576 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
577 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
579 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
580 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)

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