4 - Additional fix for getting the base application path right when rewriting
5 requests into an application sub path with mod_alias and mod_rewrite on
7 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
8 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
9 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
12 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
13 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
14 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
17 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
20 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
21 the content type and content length if available.
23 Refactoring / optimizations:
24 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
25 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
26 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
27 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
28 screen as easy to write.
29 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
30 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
31 in parameter filtering (for example).
32 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
33 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
34 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
35 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
36 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
39 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
40 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
41 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
42 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
44 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
47 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
48 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
50 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
53 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
54 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
56 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
59 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
60 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
61 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
62 which should not be encoded.
63 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
64 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
66 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
67 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
68 any set of args/captures.
70 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
71 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
73 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
77 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
79 - Various minor typo fixes.
82 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
84 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
87 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
88 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
89 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
92 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
93 - Clarify documentation about debug
96 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
97 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
98 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
100 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
103 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
104 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
108 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
109 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
111 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
112 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
113 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
114 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
115 argv key in the options hash.
116 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
117 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
118 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
119 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
121 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
125 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
126 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
127 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
128 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
129 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
131 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
135 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
136 encoding test controller.
138 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
140 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
141 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
142 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
143 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
145 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
146 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
147 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
148 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
149 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
151 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
155 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
156 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
157 less packed with information of no use.
161 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
163 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
165 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
166 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
167 the single character '0'.
168 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
171 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
172 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
173 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
175 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
177 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
178 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
179 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
180 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
181 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
182 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
183 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
184 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
185 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
186 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
187 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
188 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
190 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
191 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
193 Refactoring / cleanups:
194 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
195 (and then skipped) normally.
198 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
200 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
203 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
204 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
205 on the old behaviour.
207 Refactoring / cleanups:
208 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
209 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
211 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
214 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
215 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
216 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
217 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
218 as there is no recommended alternative.
219 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
220 fallback for fully qualified component names.
221 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
222 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
223 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
224 startup, rather than with the first hit.
225 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
226 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
227 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
228 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
229 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
230 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
231 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
232 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
235 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
236 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
237 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
238 deprecated and causes warnings).
239 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
240 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
241 in the correct order.
242 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
244 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
245 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
246 is deprecated (RT#51489)
249 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
250 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
251 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
252 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
253 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
255 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
256 exception classes need to implement.
257 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
258 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
261 Refactoring / cleanups:
262 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
263 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
264 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
265 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
266 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
267 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
268 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
270 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
273 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
274 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
275 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
276 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
278 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
279 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
280 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
283 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
284 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
287 Refactoring / cleanups:
288 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
289 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
290 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
291 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
292 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
294 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
297 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
298 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
299 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
300 now loaded at most once + tests.
301 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
302 is returned to 'actions'.
303 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
304 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
306 Refactoring / cleanups:
307 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
308 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
311 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
312 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
313 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
315 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
318 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
319 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
322 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
325 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
326 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
327 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
329 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
332 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
333 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
334 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
336 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
339 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
340 application class immutable without that option.
341 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
342 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
344 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
345 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
346 (hopefully) future versions.
347 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
348 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
350 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
352 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
353 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
354 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
355 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
356 Request-URI of the Request-Line
358 Refactoring / cleanups:
359 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
360 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
361 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
362 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
363 known issues with 5.8.3.
364 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
365 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
368 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
369 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
370 for the controller namespace
371 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
372 expand_component_module (rjbs)
373 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
374 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
375 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
376 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
378 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
379 frontend port (jshirley)
380 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
384 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
385 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
386 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
387 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
390 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
393 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
394 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
395 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
397 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
398 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
399 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
400 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
401 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
402 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
406 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
407 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
408 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
411 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
414 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
415 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
417 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
418 in some environments.
419 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
420 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
421 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
422 except works correctly with closures.
423 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
424 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
425 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
427 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
428 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
429 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
432 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
433 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
434 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
435 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
436 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
437 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
439 Refactoring / cleanups:
440 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
441 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
442 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
443 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
445 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
446 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
447 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
449 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
450 again in Catalyst::Test
452 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
455 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
456 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
459 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
462 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
463 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
464 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
466 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
469 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
470 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
473 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
474 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
478 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
479 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
480 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
481 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
482 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
484 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
485 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
486 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
487 controller naming. (random)
488 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
489 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
490 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
491 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
492 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
494 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
496 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
497 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
498 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
500 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
501 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
502 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
503 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
504 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
505 to report 'Unknown Error'
506 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
507 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
508 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
509 parse_on_demand is on
511 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
512 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
513 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
514 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
515 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
516 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
517 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
518 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
519 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
521 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
522 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
523 Test::Aggregate is available.
524 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
525 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
526 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
527 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
528 disabling functionality from base controllers.
529 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
530 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
531 incompatibility issues in some cases.
532 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
533 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
534 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
535 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
536 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
537 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
538 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
539 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
540 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
541 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
542 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
544 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
545 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
546 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
547 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
548 configuration in your application.
550 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
551 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
552 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
554 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
555 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
557 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
558 has been made private
559 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
560 the request parameters with undef + test
561 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
562 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
564 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
566 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
567 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
568 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
570 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
571 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
572 warning on recent Moose versions.
573 - Add delta documentation
574 - Clean up recursion errors
575 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
576 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
578 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
579 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
581 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
582 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
583 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
584 tries to chain to itself
586 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
587 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
588 - Tests for this (radek)

603 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
604 in production versions
605 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get

608 the restarter process
609 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
610 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed

633 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
634 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
635 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
636 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
638 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
639 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
640 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
643 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
