1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
7 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
8 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
9 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
10 included when not running from a checkout.
12 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
14 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
15 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
16 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
18 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
20 New features and refactoring:
21 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
22 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
23 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
25 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
26 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
27 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
30 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
31 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
32 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
34 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
36 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
37 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
38 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
39 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
40 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
41 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
43 Back compatibility fixes:
44 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
45 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
46 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
49 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
52 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
53 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
54 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
56 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
57 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
58 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
60 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
63 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
64 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
65 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
66 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
67 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
70 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
71 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
73 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
74 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
75 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
77 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
80 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
81 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
82 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
83 get them passed through to the application.
86 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
87 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
88 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
89 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
92 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
93 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
94 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
95 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
97 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
98 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
99 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
101 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
102 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
104 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
108 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
109 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
110 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
111 whereas before you had to say:
112 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
113 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
114 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
117 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
118 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
119 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
120 scripts in the application.
121 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
122 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
123 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
128 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
130 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
131 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
132 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
133 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
134 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
135 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
136 and provide an alternative.
138 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
142 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
145 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
148 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
150 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
151 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
152 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
153 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
154 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
155 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
159 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
160 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
162 Backward compatibility fixes:
164 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
165 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
169 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
170 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
172 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
174 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
176 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
177 Backward compatibility fixes:
179 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
180 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
182 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
186 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
187 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
188 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
190 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
192 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
193 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
195 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
199 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
201 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
203 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
205 Backward compatibility fixes:
207 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
209 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
210 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
211 for backward compatibility.
215 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
216 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
220 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
221 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
222 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
224 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
226 Backward compatibility fixes:
228 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
229 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
233 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
236 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
237 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
238 example) Coro is loaded.
240 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
241 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
243 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
244 using MooseX::Deamonize
246 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
247 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
248 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
249 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
250 deployed in these environments.
254 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
258 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
259 file for your application.
261 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
265 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
266 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
268 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
271 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
272 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
274 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
276 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
277 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
279 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
280 IO::Handle's behaviour.
282 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
283 was not breaking out correctly
285 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
286 to also work in the $c->component method.
288 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
289 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
290 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
292 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
294 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
296 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
298 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
299 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
302 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
304 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
307 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
311 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
312 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
313 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
315 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
318 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
320 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
321 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
322 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
324 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
327 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
328 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
329 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
330 the new major version of Catalyst.
333 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
334 of Catalyst has been much improved.
336 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
339 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
340 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
341 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
343 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
345 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
346 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
347 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
349 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
352 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
353 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
354 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
356 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
357 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
361 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
362 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
364 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
365 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
366 developers without changing their application code.
368 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
371 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
372 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
373 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
374 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
375 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
377 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
378 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
380 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
382 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
386 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
387 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
388 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
389 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
390 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
391 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
392 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
394 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
395 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
396 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
397 class, please tell us *now*.
399 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
402 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
404 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
405 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
406 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
407 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
408 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
409 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
412 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
413 the Content-Length header appropriately)
414 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
415 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
416 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
417 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
418 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
419 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
421 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
422 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
423 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
424 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
425 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
426 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
427 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
428 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
431 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
432 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
434 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
437 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
438 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
442 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
443 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
445 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
448 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
450 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
451 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
453 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
455 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
458 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
460 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
463 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
464 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
465 load Utils before MyApp.pm
467 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
470 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
472 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
473 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
474 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
475 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
476 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
478 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
481 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
482 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
483 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
486 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
487 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
492 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
495 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
498 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
499 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
500 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
501 the default action creation.
504 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
505 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
506 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
507 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
508 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
509 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
510 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
513 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
515 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
517 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
519 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
522 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
523 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
524 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
525 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
526 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
529 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
530 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
533 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
534 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
535 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
536 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
538 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
541 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
542 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
543 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
544 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
545 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
546 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
547 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
548 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
551 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
552 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
553 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
555 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
556 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
557 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
558 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
561 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
562 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
565 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
566 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
569 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
572 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
573 the content type and content length if available.
575 Refactoring / optimizations:
576 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
577 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
578 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
579 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
580 screen as easy to write.
581 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
582 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
583 in parameter filtering (for example).
584 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
585 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
586 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
587 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
588 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
591 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
592 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
593 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
594 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
596 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
599 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
600 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
602 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
605 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
606 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
608 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
611 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
612 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
613 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
614 which should not be encoded.
615 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
616 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
618 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
619 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
620 any set of args/captures.
622 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
623 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
625 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
629 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
631 - Various minor typo fixes.
634 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
636 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
639 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
640 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
641 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
644 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
645 - Clarify documentation about debug
648 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
649 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
650 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
652 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
655 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
656 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
660 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
661 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
663 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
664 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
665 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
666 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
667 argv key in the options hash.
668 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
669 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
670 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
671 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
673 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
677 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
678 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
679 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
680 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
681 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
683 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
687 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
688 encoding test controller.
690 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
692 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
693 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
694 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
695 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
697 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
698 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
699 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
700 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
701 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
703 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
707 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
708 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
709 less packed with information of no use.
713 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
715 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
717 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
718 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
719 the single character '0'.
720 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
723 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
724 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
725 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
727 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
729 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
730 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
731 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
732 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
733 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
734 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
735 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
736 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
737 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
738 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
739 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
740 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
742 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
743 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
745 Refactoring / cleanups:
746 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
747 (and then skipped) normally.
750 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
752 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
755 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
756 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
757 on the old behaviour.
759 Refactoring / cleanups:
760 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
761 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
763 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
766 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
767 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
768 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
769 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
770 as there is no recommended alternative.
771 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
772 fallback for fully qualified component names.
773 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
774 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
775 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
776 startup, rather than with the first hit.
777 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
778 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
779 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
780 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
781 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
782 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
783 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
784 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
787 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
788 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
789 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
790 deprecated and causes warnings).
791 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
792 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
793 in the correct order.
794 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
796 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
797 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
798 is deprecated (RT#51489)
801 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
802 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
803 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
804 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
805 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
807 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
808 exception classes need to implement.
809 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
810 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
813 Refactoring / cleanups:
814 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
815 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
816 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
817 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
818 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
819 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
820 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
822 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
825 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
826 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
827 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
828 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
830 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
831 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
832 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
835 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
836 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
839 Refactoring / cleanups:
840 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
841 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
842 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
843 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
844 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
846 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
849 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
850 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
851 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
852 now loaded at most once + tests.
853 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
854 is returned to 'actions'.
855 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
856 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
858 Refactoring / cleanups:
859 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
860 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
863 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
864 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
865 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
867 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
870 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
871 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
874 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
877 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
878 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
879 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
881 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
884 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
885 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
886 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
888 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
891 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
892 application class immutable without that option.
893 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
894 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
896 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
897 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
898 (hopefully) future versions.
899 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
900 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
902 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
904 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
905 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
906 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
907 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
908 Request-URI of the Request-Line
910 Refactoring / cleanups:
911 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
912 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
913 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
914 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
915 known issues with 5.8.3.
916 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
917 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
920 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
921 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
922 for the controller namespace
923 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
924 expand_component_module (rjbs)
925 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
926 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
927 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
928 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
930 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
931 frontend port (jshirley)
932 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
936 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
937 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
938 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
939 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
942 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
945 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
946 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
947 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
949 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
950 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
951 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
952 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
953 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
954 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
958 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
959 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
960 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
963 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
966 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
967 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
969 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
970 in some environments.
971 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
972 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
973 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
974 except works correctly with closures.
975 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
976 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
977 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
979 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
980 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
981 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
984 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
985 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
986 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
987 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
988 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
989 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
991 Refactoring / cleanups:
992 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
993 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
994 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
995 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
997 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
998 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
999 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1001 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1002 again in Catalyst::Test
1004 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1007 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1008 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1011 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1014 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1015 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1016 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1018 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1021 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1022 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1025 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1026 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1030 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1031 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1032 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1033 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1034 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1036 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1037 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1038 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1039 controller naming. (random)
1040 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1041 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1042 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1043 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1044 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1046 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1048 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1049 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1050 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1052 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1053 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1054 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1055 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1056 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1057 to report 'Unknown Error'
1058 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1059 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1060 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1061 parse_on_demand is on
1063 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1064 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1065 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1066 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1067 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1068 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1069 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1070 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1071 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1073 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1074 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1075 Test::Aggregate is available.
1076 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1077 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1078 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1079 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1080 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1081 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1082 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1083 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1088 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1089 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1090 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1091 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1092 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1093 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1094 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1096 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1097 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1098 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1099 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1100 configuration in your application.
1102 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1103 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1104 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1106 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1107 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1109 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1110 has been made private
1111 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1112 the request parameters with undef + test
1113 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1114 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1116 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1118 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1119 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1120 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1122 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1123 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1124 warning on recent Moose versions.
1125 - Add delta documentation
1126 - Clean up recursion errors
1127 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1128 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1130 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1131 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1133 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1134 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1135 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1136 tries to chain to itself
1138 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1139 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1140 - Tests for this (radek)
1141 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1142 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1143 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1144 - Tests for this (radek)
1145 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1146 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1147 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1148 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1150 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1151 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1153 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1155 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1156 in production versions
1157 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1158 the correct metaclass
1159 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1160 the restarter process
1161 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1162 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1164 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1165 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1166 immutable restart correctly.
1168 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1169 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1170 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1171 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1172 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1173 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1174 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1175 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1176 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1177 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1178 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1179 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1180 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1181 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1182 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1183 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1184 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1185 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1186 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1187 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1188 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1190 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1191 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1192 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1195 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1196 - Add uri_with tests
1198 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1205 - Improved upgrading documentation
1206 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
1207 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1209 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1210 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1211 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1214 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
