4 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
5 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
7 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
10 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
11 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
13 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
16 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
17 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
19 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
22 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
23 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
24 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
25 which should not be encoded.
26 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
27 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
29 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
30 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
31 any set of args/captures.
33 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
34 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
36 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
40 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
42 - Various minor typo fixes.
45 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
47 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
50 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
51 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
52 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
55 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
56 - Clarify documentation about debug
59 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
60 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
61 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
63 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
66 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
67 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
71 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
72 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
74 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
75 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
76 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
77 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
78 argv key in the options hash.
79 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
80 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
81 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
82 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
84 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
88 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
89 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
90 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
91 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
92 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
94 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
98 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
99 encoding test controller.
101 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
103 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
104 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
105 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
106 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
108 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
109 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
110 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
111 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
112 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
114 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
118 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
119 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
120 less packed with information of no use.
124 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
126 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
128 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
129 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
130 the single character '0'.
131 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
134 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
135 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
136 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
138 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
140 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
141 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
142 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
143 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
144 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
145 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
146 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
147 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
148 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
149 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
150 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
151 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
153 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
154 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
156 Refactoring / cleanups:
157 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
158 (and then skipped) normally.
161 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
163 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
166 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
167 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
168 on the old behaviour.
170 Refactoring / cleanups:
171 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
172 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
174 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
177 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
178 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
179 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
180 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
181 as there is no recommended alternative.
182 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
183 fallback for fully qualified component names.
184 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
185 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
186 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
187 startup, rather than with the first hit.
188 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
189 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
190 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
191 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
192 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
193 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
194 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
195 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
198 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
199 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
200 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
201 deprecated and causes warnings).
202 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
203 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
204 in the correct order.
205 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
207 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
208 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
209 is deprecated (RT#51489)
212 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
213 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
214 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
215 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
216 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
218 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
219 exception classes need to implement.
220 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
221 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
224 Refactoring / cleanups:
225 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
226 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
227 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
228 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
229 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
230 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
231 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
233 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
236 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
237 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
238 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
239 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
241 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
242 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
243 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
246 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
247 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
250 Refactoring / cleanups:
251 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
252 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
253 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
254 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
255 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
257 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
260 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
261 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
262 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
263 now loaded at most once + tests.
264 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
265 is returned to 'actions'.
266 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
267 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
269 Refactoring / cleanups:
270 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
271 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
274 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
275 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
276 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
278 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
281 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
282 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
285 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
288 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
289 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
290 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
292 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
295 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
296 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
297 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
299 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
302 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
303 application class immutable without that option.
304 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
305 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
307 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
308 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
309 (hopefully) future versions.
310 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
311 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
313 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
315 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
316 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
317 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
318 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
319 Request-URI of the Request-Line
321 Refactoring / cleanups:
322 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
323 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
324 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
325 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
326 known issues with 5.8.3.
327 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
328 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
331 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
332 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
333 for the controller namespace
334 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
335 expand_component_module (rjbs)
336 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
337 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
338 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
339 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
341 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
342 frontend port (jshirley)
343 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
347 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
348 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
349 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
350 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
353 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
356 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
357 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
358 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
360 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
361 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
362 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
363 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
364 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
365 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
369 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
370 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
371 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
374 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
377 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
378 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
380 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
381 in some environments.
382 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
383 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
384 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
385 except works correctly with closures.
386 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
387 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
388 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
390 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
391 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
392 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
395 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
396 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
397 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
398 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
399 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
400 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
402 Refactoring / cleanups:
403 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
404 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
405 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
406 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
408 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
409 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
410 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
412 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
413 again in Catalyst::Test
415 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
418 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
419 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
422 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
425 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
426 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
427 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
429 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
432 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
433 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
436 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
437 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
441 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
442 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
443 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
444 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
445 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
447 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
448 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
449 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
450 controller naming. (random)
451 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
452 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
453 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
454 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
455 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
457 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
459 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
460 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
461 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
463 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
464 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
465 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
466 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
467 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
468 to report 'Unknown Error'
469 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
470 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
471 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
472 parse_on_demand is on
474 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
475 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
476 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
477 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
478 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
479 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
480 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
481 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
482 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
484 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
485 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
486 Test::Aggregate is available.
487 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
488 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
489 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
490 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
491 disabling functionality from base controllers.
492 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
493 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
494 incompatibility issues in some cases.
495 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
496 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
497 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
498 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
499 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
500 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
501 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
502 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
503 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
504 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
505 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
507 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
508 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
509 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
510 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
511 configuration in your application.
513 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
514 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
515 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
517 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
518 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
520 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
521 has been made private
522 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
523 the request parameters with undef + test
524 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
525 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
527 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
529 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
530 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
531 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
533 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
534 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
535 warning on recent Moose versions.
536 - Add delta documentation
537 - Clean up recursion errors
538 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
539 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
541 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
542 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
544 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
545 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
546 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
547 tries to chain to itself
549 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
550 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
551 - Tests for this (radek)
552 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
553 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
554 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
555 - Tests for this (radek)
556 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
557 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
558 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
559 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
561 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
562 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
564 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
566 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
567 in production versions
568 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
569 the correct metaclass
570 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
571 the restarter process
572 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
573 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
575 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
576 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
577 immutable restart correctly.
579 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
580 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
581 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
582 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
583 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
584 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
585 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
586 - namespace::clean related cleanups

596 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
597 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
598 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
599 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
601 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
602 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
603 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

641 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
642 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

659 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
661 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
662 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
664 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
665 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
