3 - Change Catalsyt _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
5 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
6 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
8 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
10 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
11 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
13 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
15 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
16 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
17 of request or response classes.
19 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
20 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
21 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
22 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
23 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
24 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
25 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
26 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
27 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
28 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
30 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
31 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
32 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
33 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
34 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
36 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
38 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
39 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
41 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
43 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
44 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
45 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
48 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
51 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
54 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
55 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
57 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
60 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
63 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
65 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
67 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
69 Distribution META.yml changes:
70 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
71 mis-parses from the documentation.
72 - x_authority key added.
75 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
76 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
78 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
79 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
82 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
83 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
84 in bleadperl. RT#76437
86 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
87 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
90 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
91 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
93 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
94 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
95 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
97 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
100 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
101 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
102 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
103 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
104 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
105 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
107 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
109 - --background option for the server script now only closes
110 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
111 and other loggers which open a file handle when
112 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
113 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
114 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
117 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
120 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
121 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
122 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
123 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
125 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
128 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
131 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
132 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
133 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
134 included when not running from a checkout.
136 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
138 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
139 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
140 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
142 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
144 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
146 New features and refactoring:
147 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
148 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
149 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
151 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
152 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
153 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
156 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
157 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
158 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
160 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
162 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
163 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
164 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
165 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
166 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
167 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
169 Back compatibility fixes:
170 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
171 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
172 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
175 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
178 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
179 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
180 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
182 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
183 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
184 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
186 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
189 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
190 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
191 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
192 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
193 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
196 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
197 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
199 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
200 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
201 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
203 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
206 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
207 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
208 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
209 get them passed through to the application.
212 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
213 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
214 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
215 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
218 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
219 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
220 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
221 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
223 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
224 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
225 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
227 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
228 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
230 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
234 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
235 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
236 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
237 whereas before you had to say:
238 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
239 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
240 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
243 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
244 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
245 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
246 scripts in the application.
247 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
248 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
249 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
254 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
256 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
257 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
258 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
259 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
260 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
261 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
262 and provide an alternative.
264 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
268 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
271 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
274 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
276 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
277 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
278 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
279 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
280 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
281 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
285 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
286 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
288 Backward compatibility fixes:
290 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
291 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
295 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
296 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
298 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
300 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
302 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
303 Backward compatibility fixes:
305 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
306 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
308 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
312 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
313 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
314 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
316 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
318 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
319 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
321 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
325 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
327 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
329 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
331 Backward compatibility fixes:
333 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
335 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
336 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
337 for backward compatibility.
341 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
342 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
346 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
347 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
348 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
350 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
352 Backward compatibility fixes:
354 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
355 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
359 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
362 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
363 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
364 example) Coro is loaded.
366 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
367 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
369 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
370 using MooseX::Deamonize
372 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
373 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
374 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
375 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
376 deployed in these environments.
380 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
384 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
385 file for your application.
387 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
391 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
392 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
394 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
397 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
398 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
400 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
402 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
403 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
405 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
406 IO::Handle's behaviour.
408 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
409 was not breaking out correctly
411 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
412 to also work in the $c->component method.
414 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
415 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
416 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
418 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
420 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
422 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
424 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
425 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
428 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
430 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
433 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
437 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
438 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
439 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
441 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
444 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
446 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
447 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
448 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
450 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
453 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
454 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
455 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
456 the new major version of Catalyst.
459 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
460 of Catalyst has been much improved.
462 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
465 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
466 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
467 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
469 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
471 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
472 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
473 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
475 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
478 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
479 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
480 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
482 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
483 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
487 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
488 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
490 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
491 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
492 developers without changing their application code.
494 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
497 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
498 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
499 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
500 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
501 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
503 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
504 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
506 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
508 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
512 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
513 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
514 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
515 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
516 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
517 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
518 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
520 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
521 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
522 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
523 class, please tell us *now*.
525 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
528 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
530 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
531 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
532 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
533 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
534 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
535 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
538 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
539 the Content-Length header appropriately)
540 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
541 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
542 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
543 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
544 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
545 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
547 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
548 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
549 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
550 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
551 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
552 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
553 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
554 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
557 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
558 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
560 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
563 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
564 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
568 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
569 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
571 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
574 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
576 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
577 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
579 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
581 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
584 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
586 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
589 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
590 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
591 load Utils before MyApp.pm
593 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
596 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
598 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
599 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
600 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
601 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
602 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
604 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
607 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
608 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
609 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
612 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
613 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
618 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
621 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
624 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
625 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
626 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
627 the default action creation.
630 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
631 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
632 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
633 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
634 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
635 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
636 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
639 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
641 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
643 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
645 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
648 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
649 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
650 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
651 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
652 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
655 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
656 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
659 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
660 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
661 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
662 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
664 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
667 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
668 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
669 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
670 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
671 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
672 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
673 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
674 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
677 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
678 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
679 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
681 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
682 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
683 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
684 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
687 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
688 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
691 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
692 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
695 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
698 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
699 the content type and content length if available.
701 Refactoring / optimizations:
702 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
703 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
704 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
705 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
706 screen as easy to write.
707 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
708 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
709 in parameter filtering (for example).
710 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
711 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
712 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
713 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
714 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
717 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
718 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
719 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
720 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
722 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
725 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
726 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
728 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
731 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
732 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
734 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
737 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
738 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
739 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
740 which should not be encoded.
741 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
742 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
744 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
745 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
746 any set of args/captures.
748 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
749 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
751 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
755 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
757 - Various minor typo fixes.
760 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
762 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
765 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
766 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
767 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
770 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
771 - Clarify documentation about debug
774 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
775 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
776 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
778 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
781 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
782 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
786 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
787 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
789 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
790 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
791 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
792 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
793 argv key in the options hash.
794 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
795 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
796 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
797 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
799 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
803 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
804 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
805 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
806 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
807 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
809 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
813 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
814 encoding test controller.
816 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
818 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
819 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
820 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
821 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
823 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
824 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
825 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
826 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
827 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
829 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
833 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
834 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
835 less packed with information of no use.
839 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
841 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
843 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
844 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
845 the single character '0'.
846 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
849 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
850 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
851 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
853 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
855 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
856 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
857 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
858 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
859 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
860 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
861 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
862 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
863 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
864 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
865 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
866 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
868 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
869 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
871 Refactoring / cleanups:
872 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
873 (and then skipped) normally.
876 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
878 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
881 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
882 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
883 on the old behaviour.
885 Refactoring / cleanups:
886 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
887 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
889 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
892 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
893 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
894 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
895 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
896 as there is no recommended alternative.
897 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
898 fallback for fully qualified component names.
899 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
900 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
901 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
902 startup, rather than with the first hit.
903 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
904 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
905 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
906 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
907 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
908 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
909 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
910 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
913 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
914 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
915 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
916 deprecated and causes warnings).
917 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
918 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
919 in the correct order.
920 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
922 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
923 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
924 is deprecated (RT#51489)
927 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
928 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
929 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
930 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
931 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
933 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
934 exception classes need to implement.
935 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
936 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
939 Refactoring / cleanups:
940 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
941 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
942 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
943 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
944 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
945 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
946 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
948 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
951 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
952 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
953 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
954 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
956 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
957 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
958 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
961 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
962 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
965 Refactoring / cleanups:
966 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
967 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
968 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
969 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
970 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
972 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
975 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
976 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
977 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
978 now loaded at most once + tests.
979 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
980 is returned to 'actions'.
981 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
982 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
984 Refactoring / cleanups:
985 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
986 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
989 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
990 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
991 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
993 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
996 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
997 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1000 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1003 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1004 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1005 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1007 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1010 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1011 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1012 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1014 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1017 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1018 application class immutable without that option.
1019 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1020 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1022 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1023 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1024 (hopefully) future versions.
1025 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1026 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1027 variables (RT#48555)
1028 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1030 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1031 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1032 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1033 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1034 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1036 Refactoring / cleanups:
1037 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1038 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1039 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1040 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1041 known issues with 5.8.3.
1042 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1043 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1046 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1047 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1048 for the controller namespace
1049 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1050 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1051 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1052 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1053 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1054 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1056 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1057 frontend port (jshirley)
1058 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1062 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1063 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1064 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1065 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1068 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1071 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1072 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1073 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1075 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1076 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1077 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1078 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1079 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1080 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1084 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1085 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1086 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1089 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1092 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1093 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1095 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1096 in some environments.
1097 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1098 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1099 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1100 except works correctly with closures.
1101 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1102 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1103 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1104 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1105 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1106 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1107 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1110 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1111 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1112 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1113 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1114 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1115 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1117 Refactoring / cleanups:
1118 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1119 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1120 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1121 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1123 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1124 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1125 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1127 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1128 again in Catalyst::Test
1130 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1133 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1134 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1137 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1140 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1141 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1142 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1144 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1147 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1148 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1151 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1152 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1156 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1157 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1158 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1159 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1160 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1162 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1163 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1164 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1165 controller naming. (random)
1166 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1167 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1168 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1169 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1170 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1172 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1174 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1175 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1176 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1178 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1179 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1180 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1181 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1182 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1183 to report 'Unknown Error'
1184 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1185 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1186 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1187 parse_on_demand is on
1189 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1190 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1191 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1192 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1193 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1194 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1195 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1196 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1197 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1199 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1200 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1201 Test::Aggregate is available.
1202 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1203 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1204 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1205 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1206 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1207 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1208 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1209 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1210 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1211 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1212 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1213 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1214 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1215 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1216 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1217 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1218 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1219 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1220 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1222 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1223 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1224 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1225 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1226 configuration in your application.

1265 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1266 - Tests for this (radek)
