1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
5 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
7 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
11 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
12 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
13 questions or problems!
14 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
15 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
16 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
17 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
18 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
19 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
20 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
21 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
22 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
25 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
26 - documentation and test fixes
29 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
30 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
31 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
32 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
33 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
34 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
35 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
38 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
39 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
42 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
43 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
44 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
45 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
46 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
47 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
48 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
49 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
51 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
54 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
55 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
58 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
59 introduced by a change in December.
62 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
65 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
66 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
67 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
68 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
69 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
72 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
73 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
74 reported while installing.
75 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
76 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
77 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
78 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
79 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
80 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
81 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
82 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
83 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
84 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
85 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
86 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
87 - update copyright notices.
89 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
90 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
91 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
92 fails to install (sorry).
93 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
94 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
95 middleware deal with it.
97 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
98 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
99 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
100 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
101 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
102 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
103 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
104 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
105 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
107 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
108 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
109 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
110 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
111 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
112 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
113 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
114 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
115 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
116 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
118 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
119 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
120 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
121 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
125 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
126 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
127 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
128 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
129 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
130 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
134 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
135 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
136 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
138 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
139 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
140 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
142 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
143 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
144 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
145 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
147 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
148 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
149 - Various POD formating fixed.
150 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
151 accept and issues that might arise.
154 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
155 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
158 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
159 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
160 for internal methods:
162 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
163 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
164 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
166 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
167 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
168 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
169 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
171 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
172 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
173 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
175 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
176 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
177 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
178 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
179 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
181 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
182 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
183 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
184 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
185 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
186 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
187 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
188 cases to reflect this change.
190 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
191 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
192 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
193 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
194 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
195 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
196 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
197 those keys already exist). Keys added:
198 - plack.request.query
200 - plack.request.merged
201 - plack.request.http.body
202 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
203 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
204 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
205 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
206 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
207 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
208 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
209 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
210 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
211 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
212 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
213 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
214 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
215 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
216 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
217 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
218 is a scalar or arrayref.
219 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
220 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
222 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
223 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
224 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
226 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
227 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
228 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
229 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
230 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
231 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
232 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
233 a development setup (ether++)
235 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
236 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
237 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
238 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
239 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
240 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
241 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
242 case t/data_handler.t
244 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
245 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
246 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
247 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
248 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
251 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
252 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
253 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
254 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
256 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
258 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
262 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
263 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
264 this fixes all of them.
265 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
266 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
267 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
268 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
270 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
273 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
274 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
275 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
276 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
277 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
278 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
279 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
281 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
282 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
283 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
284 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
285 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
286 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
288 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
289 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
290 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
291 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
292 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
293 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
294 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
295 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
297 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
300 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
301 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
302 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
303 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
304 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
305 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
307 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
308 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
309 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
310 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
311 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
312 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
315 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
316 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
317 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
318 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
319 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
320 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
321 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
322 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
323 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
324 in behavior is compatible on its own.
325 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
326 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
327 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
328 - Some test and documentation improvements
330 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
331 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
332 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
333 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
336 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
337 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
340 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
341 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
343 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
344 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
346 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
348 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
349 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
351 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
353 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
354 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
355 of request or response classes.
357 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
358 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
359 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
360 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
361 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
362 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
363 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
364 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
365 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
366 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
368 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
369 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
370 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
371 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
372 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
374 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
376 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
377 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
379 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
381 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
382 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
383 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
386 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
389 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
392 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
393 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
395 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
398 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
401 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
403 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
405 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
407 Distribution META.yml changes:
408 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
409 mis-parses from the documentation.
410 - x_authority key added.
413 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
414 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
416 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
417 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
418 is less than helpful.
420 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
421 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
422 in bleadperl. RT#76437
424 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
425 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
428 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
429 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
431 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
432 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
433 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
435 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
438 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
439 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
440 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
441 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
442 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
443 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
445 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
447 - --background option for the server script now only closes
448 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
449 and other loggers which open a file handle when
450 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
451 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
452 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
455 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
458 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
459 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
460 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
461 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
463 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
466 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
469 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
470 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
471 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
472 included when not running from a checkout.
474 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
476 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
477 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
478 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
480 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
482 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
484 New features and refactoring:
485 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
486 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
487 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
489 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
490 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
491 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
494 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
495 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
496 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
498 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
500 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
501 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
502 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
503 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
504 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
505 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
507 Back compatibility fixes:
508 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
509 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
510 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
513 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
516 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
517 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
518 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
520 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
521 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
522 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
524 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
527 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
528 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
529 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
530 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
531 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
534 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
535 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
537 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
538 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
539 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
541 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
544 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
545 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
546 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
547 get them passed through to the application.
550 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
551 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
552 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
553 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
556 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
557 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
558 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
559 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
561 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
562 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
563 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
565 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
566 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
568 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
572 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
573 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
574 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
575 whereas before you had to say:
576 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
577 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
578 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
581 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
582 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
583 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
584 scripts in the application.
585 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
586 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
587 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
592 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
594 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
595 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
596 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
597 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
598 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
599 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
600 and provide an alternative.
602 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
606 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
609 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
612 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
614 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
615 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
616 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
617 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
618 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
619 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
623 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
624 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
626 Backward compatibility fixes:
628 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
629 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
633 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
634 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
636 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
638 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
640 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
641 Backward compatibility fixes:
643 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
644 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
646 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
650 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
651 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
652 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
654 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
656 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
657 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
659 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
663 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
665 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
667 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
669 Backward compatibility fixes:
671 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
673 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
674 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
675 for backward compatibility.
679 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
680 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
684 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
685 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
686 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
688 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
690 Backward compatibility fixes:
692 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
693 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
697 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
700 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
701 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
702 example) Coro is loaded.
704 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
705 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
707 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
708 using MooseX::Deamonize
710 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
711 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
712 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
713 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
714 deployed in these environments.
718 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
722 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
723 file for your application.
725 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
729 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
730 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
732 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
735 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
736 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
738 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
740 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
741 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
743 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
744 IO::Handle's behaviour.
746 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
747 was not breaking out correctly
749 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
750 to also work in the $c->component method.
752 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
753 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
754 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
756 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
758 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
760 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
762 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
763 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
766 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
768 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
771 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
775 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
776 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
777 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
779 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
782 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
784 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
785 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
786 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
788 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
791 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
792 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
793 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
794 the new major version of Catalyst.
797 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
798 of Catalyst has been much improved.
800 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
803 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
804 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
805 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
807 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
809 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
810 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
811 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
813 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
816 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
817 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
818 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
820 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
821 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
825 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
826 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
828 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
829 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
830 developers without changing their application code.
832 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
835 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
836 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
837 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
838 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
839 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
841 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
842 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
844 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
846 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
850 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
851 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
852 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
853 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
854 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
855 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
856 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
858 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
859 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
860 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
861 class, please tell us *now*.
863 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
866 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
868 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
869 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
870 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
871 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
872 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
873 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
876 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
877 the Content-Length header appropriately)
878 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
879 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
880 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
881 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
882 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
883 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
885 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
886 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
887 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
888 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
889 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
890 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
891 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
892 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
895 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
896 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
898 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
901 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
902 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
906 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
907 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
909 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
912 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
914 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
915 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
917 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
919 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
922 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
924 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
927 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
928 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
929 load Utils before MyApp.pm
931 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
934 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
936 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
937 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
938 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
939 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
940 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
942 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
945 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
946 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
947 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
950 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
951 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
956 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
959 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
962 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
963 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
964 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
965 the default action creation.
968 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
969 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
970 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
971 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
972 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
973 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
974 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
977 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
979 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
981 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
983 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
986 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
987 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
988 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
989 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
990 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
993 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
994 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
997 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
998 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
999 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1000 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1002 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1005 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1006 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1007 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1008 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1009 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1010 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1011 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1012 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1015 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1016 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1017 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1019 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1020 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1021 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1022 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1025 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1026 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1029 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1030 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1033 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1036 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1037 the content type and content length if available.
1039 Refactoring / optimizations:
1040 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1041 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1042 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1043 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1044 screen as easy to write.
1045 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1046 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1047 in parameter filtering (for example).
1048 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1049 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1050 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1051 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1052 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1055 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1056 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1057 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1058 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1060 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1063 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1064 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1066 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1069 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1070 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1072 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1075 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1076 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1077 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1078 which should not be encoded.
1079 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1080 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1082 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1083 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1084 any set of args/captures.
1086 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1087 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1089 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1093 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1095 - Various minor typo fixes.
1098 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1100 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1103 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1104 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1105 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1108 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1109 - Clarify documentation about debug
1112 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1113 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1114 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1116 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1119 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1120 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1124 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1125 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1127 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1128 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1129 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1130 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1131 argv key in the options hash.
1132 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1133 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1134 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1135 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1137 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1141 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1142 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1143 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1144 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1145 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1147 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1151 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1152 encoding test controller.
1154 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1156 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1157 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1158 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1159 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1161 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1162 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1163 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1164 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1165 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1167 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1171 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1172 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1173 less packed with information of no use.
1177 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1179 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1181 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1182 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1183 the single character '0'.
1184 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1187 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1188 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1189 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1191 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1193 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1194 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1195 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1196 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1197 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1198 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1199 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1200 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1201 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1202 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1203 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1204 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1206 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1207 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1209 Refactoring / cleanups:
1210 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1211 (and then skipped) normally.
1214 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1216 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1219 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1220 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1221 on the old behaviour.
1223 Refactoring / cleanups:
1224 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1225 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1227 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1230 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1231 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1232 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1233 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1234 as there is no recommended alternative.
1235 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1236 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1237 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1238 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1239 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1240 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1241 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1242 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1243 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1244 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1245 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1246 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1247 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1248 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1251 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1252 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1253 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1254 deprecated and causes warnings).
1255 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1256 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1257 in the correct order.
1258 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1260 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1261 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1262 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1265 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1266 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1267 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1268 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1269 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1271 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1272 exception classes need to implement.
1273 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1274 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1277 Refactoring / cleanups:
1278 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1279 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1280 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1281 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1282 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1283 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1284 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1286 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1289 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1290 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1291 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1292 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1294 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1295 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1296 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1299 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1300 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1303 Refactoring / cleanups:
1304 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1305 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1306 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1307 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1308 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1310 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1313 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1314 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1315 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1316 now loaded at most once + tests.
1317 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1318 is returned to 'actions'.
1319 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1320 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1322 Refactoring / cleanups:
1323 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1324 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1327 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1328 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1329 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1331 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1334 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1335 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1338 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1341 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1342 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1343 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1345 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1348 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1349 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1350 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1352 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1355 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1356 application class immutable without that option.
1357 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1358 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1360 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1361 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1362 (hopefully) future versions.
1363 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1364 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1365 variables (RT#48555)
1366 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1368 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1369 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1370 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1371 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1372 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1374 Refactoring / cleanups:
1375 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1376 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1377 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1378 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1379 known issues with 5.8.3.
1380 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1381 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1384 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1385 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1386 for the controller namespace
1387 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1388 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1389 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1390 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1391 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1392 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1394 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1395 frontend port (jshirley)
1396 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1400 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1401 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1402 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1403 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1406 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1409 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1410 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1411 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1413 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1414 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1415 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1416 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1417 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1418 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1422 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1423 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1424 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1427 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1430 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1431 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1433 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1434 in some environments.
1435 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1436 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1437 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1438 except works correctly with closures.
1439 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1440 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1441 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1442 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1443 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1444 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1445 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1448 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1449 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1450 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1451 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1452 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1453 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1455 Refactoring / cleanups:
1456 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1457 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1458 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1459 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1461 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1462 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1463 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1465 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1466 again in Catalyst::Test
1468 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1471 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1472 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1475 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1478 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1479 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1480 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1482 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1485 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1486 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1489 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1490 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1494 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1495 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1496 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1497 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1498 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1500 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1501 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1502 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1503 controller naming. (random)
1504 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1505 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1506 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1507 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1508 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1510 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1512 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1513 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1514 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1516 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1517 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1518 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1519 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1520 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1521 to report 'Unknown Error'
1522 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1523 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1524 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1525 parse_on_demand is on
1527 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1528 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1529 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1530 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1531 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1532 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1534 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1535 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1537 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1538 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1539 Test::Aggregate is available.
1540 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1541 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1542 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1543 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1544 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1545 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1546 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1547 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1553 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1554 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1555 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1556 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1557 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1558 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1560 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1561 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1562 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1563 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1564 configuration in your application.
1566 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1567 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1568 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1570 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1571 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1573 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1574 has been made private
1575 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1576 the request parameters with undef + test
1577 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1578 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1580 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1582 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1583 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1584 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1586 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1587 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1588 warning on recent Moose versions.
1589 - Add delta documentation
1590 - Clean up recursion errors
1591 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1592 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1594 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1595 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1597 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1598 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1599 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1600 tries to chain to itself
1602 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1603 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1604 - Tests for this (radek)
1605 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1606 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1607 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1608 - Tests for this (radek)
1609 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1610 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1611 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1612 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1614 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1615 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1617 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1619 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1620 in production versions
1621 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1622 the correct metaclass
1623 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1624 the restarter process
1625 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1626 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1628 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1629 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1630 immutable restart correctly.
1632 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1633 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1634 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1635 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1636 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1637 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1638 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.

1640 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1641 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1642 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1643 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1644 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1645 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1646 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1647 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1648 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1649 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1650 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1651 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1652 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1654 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1655 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1656 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1659 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1660 - Add uri_with tests

1671 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1673 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1674 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1675 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1678 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1682 - Add docs for finalize hook (dhoss)
1683 - Added ru/ua translations to error page
1684 - Improve the clarity and verbosity of the warning when component
1685 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
1686 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
1687 keep-alive requests.
1688 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1689 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1690 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1691 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1693 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1694 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1695 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1696 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1697 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1698 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1699 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1700 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1701 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1702 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1703 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1704 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1705 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1706 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1707 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1708 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1709 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1710 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1711 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1712 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1714 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1715 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1717 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1718 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1719 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1721 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1722 test sync for engines easier
1723 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
