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
18 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
19 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
21 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
24 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
25 the content type and content length if available.
27 Refactoring / optimizations:
28 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
29 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
30 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
31 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
32 screen as easy to write.
33 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
34 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
35 in parameter filtering (for example).
36 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
37 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
38 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
39 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
40 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
43 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
44 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
45 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
46 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
48 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
51 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
52 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
54 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
57 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
58 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
60 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
63 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
64 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
65 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
66 which should not be encoded.
67 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
68 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
70 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
71 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
72 any set of args/captures.
74 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
75 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
77 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
81 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
83 - Various minor typo fixes.
86 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
88 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
91 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
92 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
93 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
96 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
97 - Clarify documentation about debug
100 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
101 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
102 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
104 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
107 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
108 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
112 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
113 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
115 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
116 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
117 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
118 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
119 argv key in the options hash.
120 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
121 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
122 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
123 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
125 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
129 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
130 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
131 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
132 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
133 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
135 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
139 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
140 encoding test controller.
142 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
144 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
145 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
146 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
147 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
149 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
150 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
151 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
152 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
153 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
155 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
159 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
160 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
161 less packed with information of no use.
165 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
167 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
169 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
170 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
171 the single character '0'.
172 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
175 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
176 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
177 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
179 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
181 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
182 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
183 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
184 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
185 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
186 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
187 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
188 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
189 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
190 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
191 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
192 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
194 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
195 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
197 Refactoring / cleanups:
198 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
199 (and then skipped) normally.
202 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
204 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
207 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
208 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
209 on the old behaviour.
211 Refactoring / cleanups:
212 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
213 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
215 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
218 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
219 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
220 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
221 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
222 as there is no recommended alternative.
223 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
224 fallback for fully qualified component names.
225 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
226 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
227 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
228 startup, rather than with the first hit.
229 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
230 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
231 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
232 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
233 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
234 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
235 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
236 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
239 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
240 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
241 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
242 deprecated and causes warnings).
243 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
244 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
245 in the correct order.
246 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
248 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
249 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
250 is deprecated (RT#51489)
253 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
254 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
255 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
256 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
257 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
259 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
260 exception classes need to implement.
261 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
262 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
265 Refactoring / cleanups:
266 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
267 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
268 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
269 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
270 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
271 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
272 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
274 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
277 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
278 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
279 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
280 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
282 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
283 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
284 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
287 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
288 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
291 Refactoring / cleanups:
292 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
293 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
294 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
295 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
296 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
298 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
301 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
302 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
303 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
304 now loaded at most once + tests.
305 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
306 is returned to 'actions'.
307 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
308 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
310 Refactoring / cleanups:
311 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
312 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
315 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
316 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
317 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
319 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
322 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
323 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
326 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
329 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
330 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
331 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
333 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
336 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
337 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
338 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
340 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
343 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
344 application class immutable without that option.
345 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
346 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
348 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
349 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
350 (hopefully) future versions.
351 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
352 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
354 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
356 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
357 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
358 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
359 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
360 Request-URI of the Request-Line
362 Refactoring / cleanups:
363 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
364 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
365 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
366 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
367 known issues with 5.8.3.
368 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
369 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
372 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
373 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
374 for the controller namespace
375 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
376 expand_component_module (rjbs)
377 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
378 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
379 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
380 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
382 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
383 frontend port (jshirley)
384 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
388 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
389 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
390 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
391 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
394 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
397 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
398 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
399 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
401 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
402 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
403 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
404 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
405 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
406 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
410 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
411 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
412 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
415 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
418 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
419 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
421 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
422 in some environments.
423 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
424 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
425 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
426 except works correctly with closures.
427 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
428 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
429 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
431 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
432 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
433 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
436 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
437 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
438 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
439 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
440 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
441 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
443 Refactoring / cleanups:
444 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
445 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
446 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
447 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
449 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
450 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
451 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
453 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
454 again in Catalyst::Test
456 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
459 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
460 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
463 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
466 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
467 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
468 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
470 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
473 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
474 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
477 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
478 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
482 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
483 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
484 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
485 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
486 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
488 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
489 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
490 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
491 controller naming. (random)
492 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
493 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
494 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
495 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
496 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
498 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
500 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
501 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
502 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
504 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
505 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
506 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
507 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
508 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
509 to report 'Unknown Error'
510 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
511 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
512 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
513 parse_on_demand is on
515 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
516 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
517 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
518 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
519 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
520 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
521 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
522 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
523 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
525 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
526 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
527 Test::Aggregate is available.
528 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
529 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
530 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
531 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
532 disabling functionality from base controllers.
533 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
534 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
535 incompatibility issues in some cases.
536 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
537 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
538 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
539 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
540 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
541 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
542 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
543 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
544 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
545 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
546 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
548 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
549 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
550 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
551 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
552 configuration in your application.
554 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
555 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
556 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
558 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
559 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
561 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
562 has been made private
563 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
564 the request parameters with undef + test
565 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
566 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
568 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
570 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
571 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
572 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
574 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
575 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
576 warning on recent Moose versions.
577 - Add delta documentation
578 - Clean up recursion errors
579 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
580 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
582 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
583 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
585 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
586 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
587 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
588 tries to chain to itself
590 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
591 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
592 - Tests for this (radek)

595 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
596 - Tests for this (radek)

605 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
607 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
608 in production versions
609 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
610 the correct metaclass
611 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
612 the restarter process
613 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
614 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
616 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
617 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using

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