1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
5 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
7 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
10 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
13 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
15 Distribution META.yml changes:
16 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
17 mis-parses from the documentation.
18 - x_authority key added.
21 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
22 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
24 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
25 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
28 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
29 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
30 in bleadperl. RT#76437
32 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
33 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
36 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
37 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
39 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
40 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
41 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
43 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
46 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
47 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
48 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
49 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
50 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
51 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
53 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
55 - --background option for the server script now only closes
56 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
57 and other loggers which open a file handle when
58 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
59 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
60 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
63 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
66 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
67 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
68 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
69 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
71 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
74 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
77 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
78 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
79 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
80 included when not running from a checkout.
82 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
84 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
85 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
86 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
88 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
90 New features and refactoring:
91 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
92 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
93 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
95 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
96 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
97 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
100 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
101 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
102 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
104 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
106 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
107 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
108 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
109 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
110 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
111 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
113 Back compatibility fixes:
114 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
115 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
116 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
119 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
122 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
123 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
124 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
126 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
127 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
128 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
130 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
133 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
134 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
135 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
136 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
137 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
140 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
141 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
143 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
144 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
145 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
147 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
150 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
151 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
152 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
153 get them passed through to the application.
156 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
157 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
158 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
159 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
162 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
163 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
164 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
165 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
167 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
168 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
169 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
171 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
172 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
174 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
178 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
179 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
180 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
181 whereas before you had to say:
182 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
183 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
184 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
187 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
188 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
189 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
190 scripts in the application.
191 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
192 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
193 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
198 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
200 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
201 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
202 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
203 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
204 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
205 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
206 and provide an alternative.
208 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
212 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
215 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
218 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
220 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
221 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
222 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
223 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
224 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
225 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
229 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
230 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
232 Backward compatibility fixes:
234 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
235 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
239 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
240 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
242 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
244 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
246 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
247 Backward compatibility fixes:
249 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
250 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
252 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
256 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
257 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
258 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
260 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
262 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
263 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
265 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
269 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
271 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
273 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
275 Backward compatibility fixes:
277 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
279 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
280 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
281 for backward compatibility.
285 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
286 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
290 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
291 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
292 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
294 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
296 Backward compatibility fixes:
298 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
299 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
303 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
306 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
307 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
308 example) Coro is loaded.
310 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
311 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
313 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
314 using MooseX::Deamonize
316 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
317 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
318 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
319 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
320 deployed in these environments.
324 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
328 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
329 file for your application.
331 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
335 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
336 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
338 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
341 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
342 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
344 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
346 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
347 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
349 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
350 IO::Handle's behaviour.
352 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
353 was not breaking out correctly
355 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
356 to also work in the $c->component method.
358 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
359 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
360 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
362 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
364 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
366 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
368 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
369 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
372 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
374 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
377 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
381 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
382 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
383 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
385 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
388 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
390 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
391 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
392 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
394 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
397 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
398 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
399 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
400 the new major version of Catalyst.
403 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
404 of Catalyst has been much improved.
406 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
409 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
410 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
411 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
413 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
415 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
416 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
417 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
419 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
422 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
423 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
424 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
426 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
427 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
431 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
432 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
434 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
435 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
436 developers without changing their application code.
438 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
441 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
442 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
443 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
444 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
445 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
447 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
448 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
450 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
452 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
456 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
457 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
458 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
459 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
460 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
461 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
462 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
464 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
465 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
466 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
467 class, please tell us *now*.
469 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
472 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
474 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
475 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
476 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
477 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
478 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
479 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
482 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
483 the Content-Length header appropriately)
484 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
485 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
486 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
487 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
488 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
489 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
491 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
492 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
493 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
494 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
495 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
496 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
497 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
498 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
501 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
502 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
504 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
507 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
508 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
512 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
513 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
515 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
518 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
520 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
521 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
523 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
525 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
528 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
530 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
533 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
534 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
535 load Utils before MyApp.pm
537 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
540 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
542 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
543 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
544 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
545 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
546 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
548 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
551 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
552 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
553 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
556 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
557 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
562 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
565 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
568 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
569 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
570 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
571 the default action creation.
574 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
575 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
576 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
577 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
578 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
579 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
580 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
583 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
585 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
587 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
589 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
592 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
593 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
594 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
595 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
596 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
599 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
600 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
603 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
604 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
605 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
606 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
608 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
611 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
612 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
613 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
614 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
615 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
616 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
617 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
618 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
621 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
622 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
623 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
625 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
626 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
627 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
628 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
631 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
632 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
635 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
636 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
639 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
642 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
643 the content type and content length if available.
645 Refactoring / optimizations:
646 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
647 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
648 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
649 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
650 screen as easy to write.
651 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
652 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
653 in parameter filtering (for example).
654 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
655 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
656 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
657 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
658 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
661 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
662 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
663 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
664 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
666 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
669 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
670 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
672 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
675 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
676 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
678 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
681 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
682 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
683 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
684 which should not be encoded.
685 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
686 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
688 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
689 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
690 any set of args/captures.
692 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
693 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
695 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
699 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
701 - Various minor typo fixes.
704 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
706 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
709 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
710 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
711 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
714 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
715 - Clarify documentation about debug
718 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
719 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
720 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
722 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
725 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
726 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
730 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
731 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
733 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
734 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
735 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
736 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
737 argv key in the options hash.
738 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
739 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
740 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
741 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
743 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
747 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
748 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
749 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
750 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
751 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
753 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
757 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
758 encoding test controller.
760 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
762 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
763 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
764 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
765 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
767 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
768 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
769 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
770 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
771 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
773 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
777 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
778 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
779 less packed with information of no use.
783 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
785 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
787 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
788 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
789 the single character '0'.
790 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
793 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
794 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
795 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
797 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
799 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
800 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
801 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
802 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
803 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
804 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
805 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
806 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
807 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
808 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
809 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
810 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
812 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
813 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
815 Refactoring / cleanups:
816 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
817 (and then skipped) normally.
820 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
822 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
825 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
826 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
827 on the old behaviour.
829 Refactoring / cleanups:
830 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
831 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
833 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
836 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
837 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
838 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
839 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
840 as there is no recommended alternative.
841 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
842 fallback for fully qualified component names.
843 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
844 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
845 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
846 startup, rather than with the first hit.
847 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
848 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
849 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
850 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
851 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
852 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
853 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
854 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
857 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
858 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
859 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
860 deprecated and causes warnings).
861 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
862 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
863 in the correct order.
864 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
866 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
867 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
868 is deprecated (RT#51489)
871 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
872 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
873 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
874 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
875 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
877 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
878 exception classes need to implement.
879 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
880 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
883 Refactoring / cleanups:
884 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
885 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
886 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
887 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
888 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
889 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
890 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
892 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
895 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
896 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
897 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
898 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
900 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
901 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
902 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
905 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
906 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
909 Refactoring / cleanups:
910 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
911 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
912 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
913 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
914 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
916 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
919 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
920 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
921 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
922 now loaded at most once + tests.
923 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
924 is returned to 'actions'.
925 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
926 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
928 Refactoring / cleanups:
929 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
930 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
933 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
934 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
935 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
937 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
940 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
941 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
944 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
947 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
948 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
949 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
951 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
954 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
955 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
956 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
958 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
961 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
962 application class immutable without that option.
963 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
964 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
966 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
967 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
968 (hopefully) future versions.
969 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
970 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
972 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
974 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
975 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
976 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
977 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
978 Request-URI of the Request-Line
980 Refactoring / cleanups:
981 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
982 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
983 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
984 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
985 known issues with 5.8.3.
986 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
987 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
990 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
991 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
992 for the controller namespace
993 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
994 expand_component_module (rjbs)
995 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
996 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
997 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
998 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1000 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1001 frontend port (jshirley)
1002 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1006 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1007 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1008 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1009 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1012 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1015 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1016 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1017 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1019 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1020 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1021 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1022 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1023 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1024 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1028 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1029 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1030 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1033 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1036 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1037 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1039 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1040 in some environments.
1041 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1042 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1043 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1044 except works correctly with closures.
1045 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1046 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1047 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1048 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1049 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1050 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1051 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1054 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1055 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1056 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1057 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1058 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1059 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1061 Refactoring / cleanups:
1062 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1063 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1064 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1065 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1067 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1068 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1069 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1071 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1072 again in Catalyst::Test
1074 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1077 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1078 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1081 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1084 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1085 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1086 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1088 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1091 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1092 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1095 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1096 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1100 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1101 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1102 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1103 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1104 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1106 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1107 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1108 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1109 controller naming. (random)
1110 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1111 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1112 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1113 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1114 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1116 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1118 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1119 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1120 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1122 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1123 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1124 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1125 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1126 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1127 to report 'Unknown Error'
1128 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1129 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1130 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1131 parse_on_demand is on
1133 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1134 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1135 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1136 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1137 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1138 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1139 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1140 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1141 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1143 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1144 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1145 Test::Aggregate is available.
1146 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1147 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1148 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1149 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1150 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1151 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1152 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1153 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1154 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1155 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1156 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them

1158 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1159 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1160 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1161 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1162 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1163 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1164 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1166 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1167 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1168 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1169 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1170 configuration in your application.
1172 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1173 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1174 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1176 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1177 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1179 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1180 has been made private
1181 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1182 the request parameters with undef + test
1183 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1184 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1186 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1188 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1189 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1190 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1192 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1193 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1194 warning on recent Moose versions.
1195 - Add delta documentation
1196 - Clean up recursion errors
1197 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1198 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1200 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1201 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1203 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1204 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1205 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1206 tries to chain to itself
1208 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1209 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1210 - Tests for this (radek)
1211 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1212 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1213 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1214 - Tests for this (radek)
1215 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1216 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1217 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1218 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1220 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1221 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1223 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1225 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1226 in production versions
1227 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1228 the correct metaclass
1229 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1230 the restarter process
1231 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1232 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1234 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1235 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1236 immutable restart correctly.
1238 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1239 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1252 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1253 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1254 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1255 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1256 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1257 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1258 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1260 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1261 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1262 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1265 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1321 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1323 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
