4 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
5 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
6 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
7 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
8 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
9 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
10 those keys already exist). Keys added:
13 - plack.request.merged
14 - plack.request.http.body
15 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
16 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
17 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
18 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
19 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
20 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
21 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
23 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
24 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
25 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
27 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
28 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
29 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
30 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
31 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
32 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
33 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
34 a development setup (ether++)
36 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
37 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
38 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
39 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
40 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
41 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
42 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
45 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
46 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
47 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
48 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
49 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
52 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
53 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
54 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
55 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
57 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
59 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
63 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
64 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
65 this fixes all of them.
66 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
67 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
68 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
69 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
71 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
74 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
75 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
76 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
77 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
78 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
79 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
80 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
82 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
83 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
84 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
85 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
86 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
87 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
89 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
90 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
91 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
92 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
93 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
94 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
95 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
96 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
98 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
101 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
102 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
103 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
104 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
105 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
106 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
108 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
109 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
110 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
111 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
112 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
113 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
116 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
117 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
118 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
119 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
120 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
121 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
122 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
123 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
124 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
125 in behavior is compatible on its own.
126 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
127 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
128 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
129 - Some test and documentation improvements
131 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
132 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
133 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
134 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
137 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
138 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
141 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
142 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
144 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
145 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
147 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
149 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
150 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
152 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
154 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
155 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
156 of request or response classes.
158 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
159 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
160 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
161 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
162 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
163 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
164 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
165 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
166 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
167 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
169 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
170 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
171 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
172 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
173 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
175 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
177 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
178 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
180 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
182 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
183 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
184 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
187 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
190 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
193 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
194 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
196 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
199 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
202 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
204 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
206 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
208 Distribution META.yml changes:
209 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
210 mis-parses from the documentation.
211 - x_authority key added.
214 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
215 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
217 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
218 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
219 is less than helpful.
221 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
222 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
223 in bleadperl. RT#76437
225 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
226 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
229 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
230 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
232 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
233 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
234 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
236 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
239 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
240 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
241 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
242 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
243 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
244 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
246 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
248 - --background option for the server script now only closes
249 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
250 and other loggers which open a file handle when
251 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
252 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
253 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
256 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
259 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
260 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
261 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
262 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
264 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
267 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
270 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
271 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
272 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
273 included when not running from a checkout.
275 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
277 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
278 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
279 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
281 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
283 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
285 New features and refactoring:
286 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
287 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
288 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
290 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
291 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
292 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
295 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
296 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
297 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
299 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
301 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
302 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
303 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
304 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
305 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
306 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
308 Back compatibility fixes:
309 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
310 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
311 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
314 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
317 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
318 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
319 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
321 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
322 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
323 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
325 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
328 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
329 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
330 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
331 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
332 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
335 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
336 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
338 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
339 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
340 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
342 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
345 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
346 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
347 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
348 get them passed through to the application.
351 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
352 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
353 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
354 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
357 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
358 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
359 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
360 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
362 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
363 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
364 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
366 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
367 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
369 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
373 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
374 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
375 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
376 whereas before you had to say:
377 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
378 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
379 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
382 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
383 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
384 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
385 scripts in the application.
386 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
387 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
388 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
393 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
395 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
396 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
397 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
398 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
399 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
400 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
401 and provide an alternative.
403 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
407 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
410 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
413 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
415 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
416 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
417 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
418 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
419 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
420 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
424 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
425 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
427 Backward compatibility fixes:
429 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
430 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
434 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
435 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
437 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
439 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
441 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
442 Backward compatibility fixes:
444 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
445 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
447 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
451 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
452 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
453 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
455 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
457 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
458 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
460 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
464 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
466 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
468 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
470 Backward compatibility fixes:
472 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
474 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
475 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
476 for backward compatibility.
480 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
481 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
485 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
486 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
487 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
489 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
491 Backward compatibility fixes:
493 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
494 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
498 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
501 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
502 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
503 example) Coro is loaded.
505 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
506 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
508 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
509 using MooseX::Deamonize
511 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
512 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
513 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
514 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
515 deployed in these environments.
519 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
523 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
524 file for your application.
526 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
530 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
531 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
533 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
536 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
537 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
539 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
541 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
542 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
544 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
545 IO::Handle's behaviour.
547 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
548 was not breaking out correctly
550 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
551 to also work in the $c->component method.
553 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
554 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
555 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
557 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
559 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
561 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
563 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
564 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
567 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
569 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
572 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
576 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
577 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
578 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
580 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
583 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
585 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
586 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
587 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
589 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
592 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
593 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
594 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
595 the new major version of Catalyst.
598 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
599 of Catalyst has been much improved.
601 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
604 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
605 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
606 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
608 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
610 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
611 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
612 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
614 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
617 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
618 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
619 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
621 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
622 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
626 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
627 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
629 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
630 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
631 developers without changing their application code.
633 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
636 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
637 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
638 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
639 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
640 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
642 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
643 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
645 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
647 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
651 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
652 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
653 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
654 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
655 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
656 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
657 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
659 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
660 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
661 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
662 class, please tell us *now*.
664 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
667 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
669 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
670 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
671 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
672 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
673 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
674 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
677 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
678 the Content-Length header appropriately)
679 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
680 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
681 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
682 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
683 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
684 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
686 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
687 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
688 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
689 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
690 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
691 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
692 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
693 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
696 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
697 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
699 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
702 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
703 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
707 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
708 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
710 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
713 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
715 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
716 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
718 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
720 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
723 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
725 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
728 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
729 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
730 load Utils before MyApp.pm
732 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
735 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
737 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
738 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
739 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
740 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
741 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
743 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
746 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
747 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
748 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
751 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
752 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
757 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
760 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
763 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
764 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
765 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
766 the default action creation.
769 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
770 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
771 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
772 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
773 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
774 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
775 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
778 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
780 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
782 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
784 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
787 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
788 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
789 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
790 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
791 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
794 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
795 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
798 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
799 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
800 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
801 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
803 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
806 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
807 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
808 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
809 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
810 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
811 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
812 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
813 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
816 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
817 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
818 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
820 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
821 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
822 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
823 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
826 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
827 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
830 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
831 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
834 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
837 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
838 the content type and content length if available.
840 Refactoring / optimizations:
841 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
842 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
843 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
844 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
845 screen as easy to write.
846 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
847 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
848 in parameter filtering (for example).
849 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
850 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
851 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
852 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
853 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
856 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
857 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
858 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
859 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
861 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
864 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
865 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
867 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
870 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
871 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
873 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
876 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
877 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
878 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
879 which should not be encoded.
880 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
881 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
883 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
884 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
885 any set of args/captures.
887 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
888 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
890 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
894 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
896 - Various minor typo fixes.
899 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
901 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
904 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
905 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
906 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
909 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
910 - Clarify documentation about debug
913 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
914 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
915 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
917 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
920 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
921 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
925 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
926 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
928 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
929 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
930 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
931 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
932 argv key in the options hash.
933 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
934 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
935 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
936 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
938 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
942 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
943 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
944 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
945 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
946 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
948 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
952 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
953 encoding test controller.
955 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
957 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
958 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
959 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
960 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
962 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
963 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
964 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
965 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
966 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
968 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
972 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
973 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
974 less packed with information of no use.
978 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
980 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
982 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
983 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
984 the single character '0'.
985 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
988 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
989 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
990 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
992 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
994 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
995 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
996 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
997 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
998 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
999 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1000 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1001 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1002 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1003 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1004 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1005 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1007 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1008 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1010 Refactoring / cleanups:
1011 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1012 (and then skipped) normally.
1015 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1017 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1020 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1021 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1022 on the old behaviour.
1024 Refactoring / cleanups:
1025 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1026 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1028 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1031 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1032 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1033 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1034 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1035 as there is no recommended alternative.
1036 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1037 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1038 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1039 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1040 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1041 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1042 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1043 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1044 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1045 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1046 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1047 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1048 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1049 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1052 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1053 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1054 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1055 deprecated and causes warnings).
1056 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1057 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1058 in the correct order.
1059 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1061 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1062 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1063 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1066 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1067 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1068 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1069 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1070 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1072 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1073 exception classes need to implement.
1074 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1075 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1078 Refactoring / cleanups:
1079 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1080 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1081 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1082 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1083 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1084 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1085 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1087 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1090 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1091 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1092 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1093 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1095 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1096 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1097 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1100 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1101 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1104 Refactoring / cleanups:
1105 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1106 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1107 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1108 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1109 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1111 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1114 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1115 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1116 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1117 now loaded at most once + tests.
1118 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1119 is returned to 'actions'.
1120 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1121 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1123 Refactoring / cleanups:
1124 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1125 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1128 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1129 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1130 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1132 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1135 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1136 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1139 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1142 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1143 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1144 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1146 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1149 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1150 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1151 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1153 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1156 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1157 application class immutable without that option.
1158 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1159 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1161 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1162 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1163 (hopefully) future versions.
1164 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1165 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1166 variables (RT#48555)
1167 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1169 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1170 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1171 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1172 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1173 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1175 Refactoring / cleanups:
1176 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1177 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1178 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1179 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1180 known issues with 5.8.3.
1181 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1182 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1185 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1186 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1187 for the controller namespace
1188 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1189 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1190 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1191 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1192 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1193 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1195 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1196 frontend port (jshirley)
1197 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1201 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1202 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1203 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1204 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1207 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1210 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1211 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1212 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1214 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1215 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1216 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1217 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1218 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1219 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1223 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1224 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1225 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1228 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1231 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1232 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1234 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1235 in some environments.
1236 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1237 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1238 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1239 except works correctly with closures.

1241 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1242 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1243 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1244 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1245 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1246 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1249 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1250 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1251 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1252 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1253 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1254 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1256 Refactoring / cleanups:
1257 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1258 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1259 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1260 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1262 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1263 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1264 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1266 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1267 again in Catalyst::Test
1269 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1280 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1281 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1283 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1286 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1287 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1290 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1291 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1295 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1296 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1297 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1298 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1299 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1301 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1302 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1303 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1304 controller naming. (random)

1315 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1317 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1318 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1319 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1320 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1321 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1322 to report 'Unknown Error'
1323 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1324 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1325 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1326 parse_on_demand is on
1328 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1329 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1330 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1331 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1335 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1336 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

1339 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1340 Test::Aggregate is available.
1341 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1342 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1343 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1344 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1345 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1356 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1357 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1358 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1359 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1361 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1362 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1363 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1364 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1365 configuration in your application.
1367 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1368 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1396 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1398 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1399 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1400 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1401 tries to chain to itself
1403 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1404 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1405 - Tests for this (radek)
1406 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1407 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1408 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1409 - Tests for this (radek)
1410 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1411 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1412 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)

1420 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1421 in production versions
1422 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1423 the correct metaclass
1424 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1425 the restarter process
1426 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1427 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1429 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1430 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1431 immutable restart correctly.
1433 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1434 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1446 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1447 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.

1450 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1451 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1452 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1453 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1455 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1456 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1490 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1491 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1492 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1494 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1495 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1496 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1504 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1505 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1506 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1507 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1508 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1509 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1510 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1511 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1512 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1513 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1515 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1516 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1518 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1519 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1520 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1522 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1523 test sync for engines easier
1524 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1525 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1541 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1542 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1543 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1544 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1545 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1546 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1666 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1667 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1668 throw warnings for two reasons:
1669 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1670 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1672 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1673 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1674 method with a regex as the argument
