1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
5 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
6 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
7 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
8 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
9 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
14 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
15 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
16 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
17 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
18 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
19 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
21 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
22 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
23 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
24 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
25 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
26 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
29 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
30 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
31 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
32 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
33 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
34 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
35 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
36 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
37 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
38 in behavior is compatible on its own.
39 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
40 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
41 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
42 - Some test and documentation improvements
44 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
45 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
46 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
47 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
50 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
51 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
54 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
55 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
57 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
58 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
60 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
62 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
63 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
65 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
67 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
68 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
69 of request or response classes.
71 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
72 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
73 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
74 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
75 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
76 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
77 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
78 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
79 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
80 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
82 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
83 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
84 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
85 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
86 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
88 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
90 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
91 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
93 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
95 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
96 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
97 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
100 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
103 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
106 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
107 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
109 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
112 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
115 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
117 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
119 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
121 Distribution META.yml changes:
122 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
123 mis-parses from the documentation.
124 - x_authority key added.
127 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
128 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
130 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
131 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
132 is less than helpful.
134 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
135 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
136 in bleadperl. RT#76437
138 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
139 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
142 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
143 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
145 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
146 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
147 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
149 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
152 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
153 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
154 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
155 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
156 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
157 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
159 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
161 - --background option for the server script now only closes
162 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
163 and other loggers which open a file handle when
164 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
165 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
166 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
169 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
172 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
173 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
174 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
175 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
177 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
180 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
183 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
184 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
185 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
186 included when not running from a checkout.
188 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
190 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
191 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
192 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
194 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
196 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
198 New features and refactoring:
199 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
200 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
201 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
203 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
204 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
205 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
208 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
209 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
210 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
212 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
214 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
215 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
216 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
217 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
218 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
219 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
221 Back compatibility fixes:
222 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
223 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
224 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
227 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
230 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
231 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
232 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
234 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
235 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
236 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
238 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
241 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
242 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
243 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
244 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
245 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
248 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
249 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
251 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
252 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
253 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
255 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
258 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
259 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
260 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
261 get them passed through to the application.
264 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
265 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
266 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
267 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
270 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
271 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
272 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
273 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
275 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
276 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
277 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
279 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
280 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
282 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
286 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
287 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
288 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
289 whereas before you had to say:
290 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
291 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
292 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
295 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
296 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
297 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
298 scripts in the application.
299 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
300 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
301 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
306 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
308 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
309 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
310 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
311 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
312 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
313 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
314 and provide an alternative.
316 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
320 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
323 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
326 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
328 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
329 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
330 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
331 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
332 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
333 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
337 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
338 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
340 Backward compatibility fixes:
342 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
343 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
347 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
348 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
350 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
352 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
354 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
355 Backward compatibility fixes:
357 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
358 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
360 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
364 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
365 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
366 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
368 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
370 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
371 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
373 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
377 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
379 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
381 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
383 Backward compatibility fixes:
385 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
387 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
388 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
389 for backward compatibility.
393 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
394 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
398 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
399 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
400 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
402 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
404 Backward compatibility fixes:
406 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
407 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
411 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
414 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
415 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
416 example) Coro is loaded.
418 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
419 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
421 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
422 using MooseX::Deamonize
424 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
425 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
426 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
427 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
428 deployed in these environments.
432 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
436 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
437 file for your application.
439 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
443 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
444 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
446 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
449 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
450 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
452 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
454 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
455 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
457 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
458 IO::Handle's behaviour.
460 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
461 was not breaking out correctly
463 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
464 to also work in the $c->component method.
466 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
467 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
468 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
470 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
472 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
474 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
476 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
477 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
480 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
482 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
485 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
489 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
490 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
491 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
493 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
496 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
498 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
499 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
500 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
502 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
505 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
506 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
507 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
508 the new major version of Catalyst.
511 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
512 of Catalyst has been much improved.
514 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
517 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
518 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
519 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
521 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
523 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
524 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
525 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
527 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
530 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
531 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
532 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
534 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
535 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
539 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
540 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
542 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
543 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
544 developers without changing their application code.
546 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
549 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
550 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
551 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
552 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
553 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
555 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
556 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
558 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
560 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
564 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
565 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
566 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
567 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
568 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
569 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
570 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
572 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
573 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
574 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
575 class, please tell us *now*.
577 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
580 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
582 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
583 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
584 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
585 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
586 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
587 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
590 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
591 the Content-Length header appropriately)
592 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
593 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
594 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
595 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
596 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
597 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
599 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
600 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
601 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
602 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
603 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
604 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
605 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
606 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
609 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
610 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
612 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
615 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
616 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
620 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
621 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
623 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
626 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
628 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
629 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
631 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
633 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
636 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
638 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
641 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
642 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
643 load Utils before MyApp.pm
645 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
648 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
650 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
651 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
652 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
653 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
654 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
656 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
659 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
660 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
661 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
664 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
665 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
670 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
673 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
676 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
677 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
678 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
679 the default action creation.
682 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
683 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
684 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
685 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
686 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
687 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
688 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
691 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
693 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
695 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
697 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
700 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
701 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
702 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
703 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
704 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
707 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
708 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
711 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
712 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
713 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
714 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
716 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
719 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
720 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
721 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
722 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
723 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
724 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
725 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
726 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
729 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
730 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
731 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
733 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
734 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
735 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
736 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
739 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
740 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
743 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
744 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
747 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
750 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
751 the content type and content length if available.
753 Refactoring / optimizations:
754 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
755 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
756 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
757 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
758 screen as easy to write.
759 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
760 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
761 in parameter filtering (for example).
762 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
763 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
764 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
765 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
766 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
769 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
770 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
771 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
772 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
774 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
777 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
778 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
780 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
783 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
784 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
786 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
789 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
790 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
791 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
792 which should not be encoded.
793 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
794 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
796 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
797 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
798 any set of args/captures.
800 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
801 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
803 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
807 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
809 - Various minor typo fixes.
812 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
814 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
817 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
818 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
819 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
822 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
823 - Clarify documentation about debug
826 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
827 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
828 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
830 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
833 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
834 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
838 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
839 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
841 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
842 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
843 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
844 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
845 argv key in the options hash.
846 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
847 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
848 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
849 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
851 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
855 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
856 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
857 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
858 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
859 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
861 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
865 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
866 encoding test controller.
868 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
870 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
871 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
872 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
873 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
875 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
876 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
877 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
878 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
879 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
881 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
885 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
886 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
887 less packed with information of no use.
891 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
893 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
895 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
896 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
897 the single character '0'.
898 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
901 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
902 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
903 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
905 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
907 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
908 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
909 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
910 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
911 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
912 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
913 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
914 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
915 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
916 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
917 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
918 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
920 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
921 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
923 Refactoring / cleanups:
924 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
925 (and then skipped) normally.
928 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
930 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
933 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
934 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
935 on the old behaviour.
937 Refactoring / cleanups:
938 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
939 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
941 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
944 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
945 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
946 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
947 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
948 as there is no recommended alternative.
949 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
950 fallback for fully qualified component names.
951 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
952 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
953 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
954 startup, rather than with the first hit.
955 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
956 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
957 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
958 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
959 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
960 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
961 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
962 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
965 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
966 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
967 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
968 deprecated and causes warnings).
969 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
970 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
971 in the correct order.
972 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
974 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
975 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
976 is deprecated (RT#51489)
979 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
980 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
981 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
982 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
983 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
985 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
986 exception classes need to implement.
987 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
988 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
991 Refactoring / cleanups:
992 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
993 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
994 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
995 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
996 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
997 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
998 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1000 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1003 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1004 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1005 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1006 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1008 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1009 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1010 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1013 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1014 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1017 Refactoring / cleanups:
1018 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1019 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1020 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1021 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1022 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1024 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1027 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1028 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1029 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1030 now loaded at most once + tests.
1031 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1032 is returned to 'actions'.
1033 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1034 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1036 Refactoring / cleanups:
1037 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1038 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1041 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1042 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1043 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1045 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1048 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1049 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1052 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1055 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1056 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1057 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1059 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1062 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1063 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1064 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1066 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1069 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1070 application class immutable without that option.
1071 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1072 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1074 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1075 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1076 (hopefully) future versions.
1077 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1078 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1079 variables (RT#48555)
1080 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1082 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1083 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1084 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1085 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1086 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1088 Refactoring / cleanups:
1089 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1090 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1091 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1092 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1093 known issues with 5.8.3.
1094 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1095 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1098 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1099 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1100 for the controller namespace
1101 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1102 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1103 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1104 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1105 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1106 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1108 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1109 frontend port (jshirley)
1110 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1114 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1115 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1116 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1117 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1120 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1123 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1124 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1125 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1127 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1128 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1129 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1130 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1131 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1132 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1136 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1137 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1138 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1141 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1144 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1145 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1147 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1148 in some environments.
1149 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1150 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1151 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1152 except works correctly with closures.
1153 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1154 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1155 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1156 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1157 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1158 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1159 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1162 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1163 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1164 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1165 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1166 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1167 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1169 Refactoring / cleanups:
1170 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1171 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1172 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1173 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1175 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1176 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1177 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1179 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1180 again in Catalyst::Test
1182 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1185 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1186 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1189 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1192 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1193 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1194 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1196 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1199 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1200 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1203 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1204 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1208 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1209 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1210 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1211 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1212 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1214 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1215 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1216 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1217 controller naming. (random)
1218 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1219 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1220 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1221 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1222 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1224 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1226 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1227 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs

1230 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1231 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1232 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1233 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1234 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1235 to report 'Unknown Error'
1236 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1237 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

1242 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1243 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1244 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1252 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1253 Test::Aggregate is available.
1254 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1255 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1256 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a

1270 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1271 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1272 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1274 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1275 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1276 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1277 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1278 configuration in your application.

1309 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1311 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1312 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1313 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1314 tries to chain to itself
1316 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1317 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1318 - Tests for this (radek)
1319 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1320 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1321 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1322 - Tests for this (radek)

1333 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1334 in production versions
1335 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1336 the correct metaclass
1337 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1338 the restarter process
1339 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1340 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1342 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1343 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1344 immutable restart correctly.
1346 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1347 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1359 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1360 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1361 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1363 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1364 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1365 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1366 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1368 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1369 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1407 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1408 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1409 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1429 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1431 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1432 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1457 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1458 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1459 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1581 throw warnings for two reasons:
1582 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1583 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1630 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1631 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
