1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
7 - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
8 when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
9 You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
10 - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
12 - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
15 - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
16 warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
17 so you can go to hunt it out.
20 - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
21 - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
22 in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
23 - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
24 rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
25 - Added italian translation of default error.
28 - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
31 - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
32 certain tests. No other changes.
35 - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
36 - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
37 plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
39 - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
41 - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
43 - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
47 - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
48 work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
49 questions or problems!
50 - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
51 PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
52 Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
53 under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
54 - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
55 causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
56 non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
57 - When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
58 existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
61 - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
62 - documentation and test fixes
65 - The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
66 causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
67 test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
68 the end of the request when the log is flushed.
69 - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
70 - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
71 - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
74 - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++).
75 - Happy Cinco de Mayo!
78 - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore.
79 - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in
80 debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read.
81 - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env.
82 - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width.
83 - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded
84 - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware
85 is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via
87 - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct.
90 - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since
91 there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification.
94 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
95 introduced by a change in December.
98 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
101 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
102 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
103 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
104 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
105 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
108 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
109 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
110 reported while installing.
111 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
112 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
113 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
114 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
115 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
116 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
117 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
118 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
119 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
120 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
121 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
122 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
123 - update copyright notices.
125 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
126 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
127 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
128 fails to install (sorry).
129 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
130 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
131 middleware deal with it.
133 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
134 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
135 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
136 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
137 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
138 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
139 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
140 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
141 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
143 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
144 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
145 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
146 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
147 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
148 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
149 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
150 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
151 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
152 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
154 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
155 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
156 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
157 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
161 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
162 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
163 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
164 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
165 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
166 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
170 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
171 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
172 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
174 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
175 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
176 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
178 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
179 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
180 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
181 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
183 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
184 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
185 - Various POD formating fixed.
186 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
187 accept and issues that might arise.
190 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
191 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
194 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
195 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
196 for internal methods:
198 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
199 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
200 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
202 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
203 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
204 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
205 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
207 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
208 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
209 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
211 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
212 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
213 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
214 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
215 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
217 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
218 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
219 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
220 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
221 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
222 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
223 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
224 cases to reflect this change.
226 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
227 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
228 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
229 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
230 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
231 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
232 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
233 those keys already exist). Keys added:
234 - plack.request.query
236 - plack.request.merged
237 - plack.request.http.body
238 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
239 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
240 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
241 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
242 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
243 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
244 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
245 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
246 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
247 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
248 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
249 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
250 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
251 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
252 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
253 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
254 is a scalar or arrayref.
255 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
256 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
258 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
259 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
260 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
262 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
263 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
264 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
265 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
266 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
267 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
268 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
269 a development setup (ether++)
271 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
272 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
273 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
274 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
275 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
276 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
277 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
278 case t/data_handler.t
280 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
281 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
282 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
283 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
284 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
287 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
288 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
289 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
290 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
292 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
294 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
298 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
299 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
300 this fixes all of them.
301 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
302 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
303 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
304 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
306 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
309 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
310 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
311 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
312 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
313 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
314 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
315 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
317 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
318 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
319 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
320 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
321 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
322 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
324 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
325 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
326 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
327 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
328 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
329 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
330 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
331 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
333 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
336 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
337 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
338 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
339 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
340 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
341 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
343 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
344 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
345 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
346 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
347 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
348 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
351 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
352 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
353 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
354 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
355 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
356 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
357 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
358 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
359 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
360 in behavior is compatible on its own.
361 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
362 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
363 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
364 - Some test and documentation improvements
366 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
367 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
368 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
369 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
372 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
373 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
376 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
377 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
379 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
380 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
382 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
384 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
385 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
387 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
389 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
390 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
391 of request or response classes.
393 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
394 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
395 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
396 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
397 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
398 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
399 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
400 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
401 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
402 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
404 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
405 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
406 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
407 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
408 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
410 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
412 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
413 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
415 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
417 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
418 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
419 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
422 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
425 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
428 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
429 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
431 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
434 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
437 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
439 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
441 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
443 Distribution META.yml changes:
444 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
445 mis-parses from the documentation.
446 - x_authority key added.
449 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
450 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
452 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
453 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
454 is less than helpful.
456 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
457 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
458 in bleadperl. RT#76437
460 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
461 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
464 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
465 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
467 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
468 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
469 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
471 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
474 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
475 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
476 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
477 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
478 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
479 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
481 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
483 - --background option for the server script now only closes
484 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
485 and other loggers which open a file handle when
486 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
487 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
488 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
491 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
494 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
495 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
496 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
497 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
499 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
502 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
505 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
506 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
507 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
508 included when not running from a checkout.
510 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
512 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
513 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
514 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
516 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
518 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
520 New features and refactoring:
521 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
522 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
523 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
525 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
526 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
527 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
530 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
531 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
532 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
534 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
536 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
537 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
538 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
539 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
540 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
541 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
543 Back compatibility fixes:
544 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
545 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
546 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
549 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
552 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
553 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
554 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
556 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
557 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
558 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
560 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
563 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
564 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
565 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
566 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
567 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
570 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
571 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
573 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
574 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
575 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
577 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
580 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
581 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
582 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
583 get them passed through to the application.
586 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
587 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
588 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
589 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
592 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
593 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
594 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
595 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
597 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
598 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
599 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
601 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
602 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
604 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
608 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
609 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
610 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
611 whereas before you had to say:
612 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
613 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
614 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
617 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
618 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
619 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
620 scripts in the application.
621 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
622 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
623 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
628 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
630 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
631 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
632 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
633 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
634 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
635 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
636 and provide an alternative.
638 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
642 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
645 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
648 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
650 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
651 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
652 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
653 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
654 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
655 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
659 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
660 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
662 Backward compatibility fixes:
664 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
665 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
669 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
670 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
672 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
674 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
676 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
677 Backward compatibility fixes:
679 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
680 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
682 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
686 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
687 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
688 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
690 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
692 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
693 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
695 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
699 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
701 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
703 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
705 Backward compatibility fixes:
707 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
709 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
710 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
711 for backward compatibility.
715 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
716 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
720 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
721 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
722 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
724 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
726 Backward compatibility fixes:
728 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
729 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
733 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
736 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
737 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
738 example) Coro is loaded.
740 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
741 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
743 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
744 using MooseX::Deamonize
746 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
747 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
748 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
749 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
750 deployed in these environments.
754 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
758 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
759 file for your application.
761 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
765 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
766 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
768 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
771 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
772 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
774 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
776 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
777 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
779 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
780 IO::Handle's behaviour.
782 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
783 was not breaking out correctly
785 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
786 to also work in the $c->component method.
788 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
789 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
790 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
792 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
794 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
796 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
798 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
799 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
802 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
804 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
807 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
811 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
812 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
813 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
815 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
818 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
820 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
821 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
822 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
824 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
827 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
828 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
829 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
830 the new major version of Catalyst.
833 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
834 of Catalyst has been much improved.
836 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
839 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
840 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
841 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
843 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
845 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
846 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
847 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
849 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
852 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
853 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
854 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
856 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
857 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
861 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
862 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
864 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
865 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
866 developers without changing their application code.
868 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
871 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
872 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
873 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
874 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
875 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
877 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
878 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
880 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
882 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
886 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
887 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
888 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
889 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
890 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
891 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
892 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
894 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
895 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
896 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
897 class, please tell us *now*.
899 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
902 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
904 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
905 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
906 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
907 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
908 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
909 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
912 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
913 the Content-Length header appropriately)
914 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
915 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
916 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
917 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
918 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
919 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
921 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
922 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
923 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
924 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
925 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
926 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
927 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
928 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
931 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
932 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
934 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
937 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
938 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
942 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
943 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
945 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
948 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
950 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
951 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
953 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
955 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
958 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
960 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
963 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
964 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
965 load Utils before MyApp.pm
967 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
970 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
972 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
973 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
974 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
975 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
976 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
978 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
981 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
982 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
983 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
986 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
987 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
992 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
995 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
998 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
999 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
1000 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
1001 the default action creation.
1004 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
1005 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
1006 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
1007 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
1008 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
1009 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
1010 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
1013 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
1015 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
1017 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
1019 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
1022 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
1023 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
1024 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
1025 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
1026 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
1029 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
1030 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
1033 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
1034 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
1035 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
1036 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
1038 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
1041 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
1042 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
1043 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
1044 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
1045 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
1046 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
1047 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
1048 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
1051 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
1052 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
1053 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
1055 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
1056 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
1057 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
1058 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
1061 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
1062 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
1065 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
1066 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
1069 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
1072 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
1073 the content type and content length if available.
1075 Refactoring / optimizations:
1076 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
1077 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
1078 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
1079 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
1080 screen as easy to write.
1081 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
1082 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
1083 in parameter filtering (for example).
1084 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
1085 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
1086 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
1087 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
1088 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1091 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1092 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1093 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1094 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1096 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1099 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1100 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1102 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1105 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1106 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1108 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1111 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1112 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1113 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1114 which should not be encoded.
1115 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1116 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1118 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1119 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1120 any set of args/captures.
1122 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1123 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1125 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1129 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1131 - Various minor typo fixes.
1134 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1136 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1139 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1140 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1141 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1144 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1145 - Clarify documentation about debug
1148 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1149 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1150 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1152 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1155 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1156 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1160 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1161 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1163 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1164 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1165 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1166 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1167 argv key in the options hash.
1168 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1169 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1170 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1171 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1173 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1177 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1178 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1179 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1180 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1181 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1183 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1187 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1188 encoding test controller.
1190 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1192 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1193 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1194 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1195 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1197 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1198 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1199 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1200 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1201 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1203 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1207 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1208 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1209 less packed with information of no use.
1213 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1215 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1217 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1218 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1219 the single character '0'.
1220 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1223 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1224 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1225 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1227 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1229 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1230 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1231 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1232 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1233 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1234 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1235 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1236 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1237 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1238 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1239 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1240 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1242 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1243 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1245 Refactoring / cleanups:
1246 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1247 (and then skipped) normally.
1250 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1252 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1255 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1256 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1257 on the old behaviour.
1259 Refactoring / cleanups:
1260 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1261 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1263 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1266 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1267 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1268 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1269 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1270 as there is no recommended alternative.
1271 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1272 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1273 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1274 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1275 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1276 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1277 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1278 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1279 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1280 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1281 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1282 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1283 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1284 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1287 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1288 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1289 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1290 deprecated and causes warnings).
1291 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1292 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1293 in the correct order.
1294 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1296 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1297 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1298 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1301 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1302 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1303 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1304 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1305 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1307 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1308 exception classes need to implement.
1309 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1310 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1313 Refactoring / cleanups:
1314 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1315 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1316 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1317 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1318 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1319 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1320 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1322 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1325 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1326 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1327 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1328 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1330 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1331 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1332 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1335 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1336 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1339 Refactoring / cleanups:
1340 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1341 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1342 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1343 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1344 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1346 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1349 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1350 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1351 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1352 now loaded at most once + tests.
1353 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1354 is returned to 'actions'.
1355 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1356 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1358 Refactoring / cleanups:
1359 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1360 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1363 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1364 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1365 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1367 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1370 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1371 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1374 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1377 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1378 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1379 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1381 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1384 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1385 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1386 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1388 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1391 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1392 application class immutable without that option.
1393 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1394 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1396 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1397 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1398 (hopefully) future versions.
1399 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1400 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1401 variables (RT#48555)
1402 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1404 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1405 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1406 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1407 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1408 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1410 Refactoring / cleanups:
1411 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1412 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1413 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1414 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1415 known issues with 5.8.3.
1416 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1417 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1420 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1421 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1422 for the controller namespace
1423 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1424 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1425 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1426 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1427 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1428 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1430 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1431 frontend port (jshirley)
1432 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1436 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1437 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1438 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1439 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1442 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1445 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1446 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1447 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1449 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1450 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1451 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1452 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1453 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1454 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1458 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1459 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1460 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1463 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1466 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1467 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1469 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1470 in some environments.
1471 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1472 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1473 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1474 except works correctly with closures.
1475 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1476 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1477 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1478 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1479 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1480 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1481 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1484 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1485 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1486 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1487 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1488 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1489 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1491 Refactoring / cleanups:
1492 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1493 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1494 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1495 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1497 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1498 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1499 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1501 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1502 again in Catalyst::Test
1504 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1507 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1508 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1511 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1514 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1515 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1516 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1518 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1521 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1522 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1525 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1526 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1530 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1531 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1532 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1533 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1534 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1536 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1537 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1538 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1539 controller naming. (random)
1540 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1541 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1542 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1543 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1544 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1546 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1548 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1549 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1550 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1552 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1553 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1554 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1555 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1556 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1557 to report 'Unknown Error'
1558 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1559 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1560 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1561 parse_on_demand is on
1563 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1564 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1565 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1566 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1567 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1568 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1569 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1570 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1571 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1573 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1574 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1575 Test::Aggregate is available.
1576 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1577 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1578 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1579 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1580 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1581 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1582 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1583 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1587 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1588 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1589 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1590 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1591 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1592 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1593 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1594 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1596 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1597 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1598 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1599 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1600 configuration in your application.
1602 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1603 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1604 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1606 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1607 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1609 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1610 has been made private
1611 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1612 the request parameters with undef + test
1613 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1614 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1616 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1618 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1619 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1620 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1622 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1623 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1624 warning on recent Moose versions.
1625 - Add delta documentation
1626 - Clean up recursion errors
1627 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1628 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1630 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1631 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1633 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1634 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1635 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1636 tries to chain to itself
1638 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1639 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1640 - Tests for this (radek)
1641 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1642 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1643 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1644 - Tests for this (radek)
1645 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1646 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1647 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1648 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1650 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1651 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1653 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1655 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1656 in production versions
1657 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1658 the correct metaclass
1659 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1660 the restarter process
1661 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1662 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1664 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1665 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1666 immutable restart correctly.
1668 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1669 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1670 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1671 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1672 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1673 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1674 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1675 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1676 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1677 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1678 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1679 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1680 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1681 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1682 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1683 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1684 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1685 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1686 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1687 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1688 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1690 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1691 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1692 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1695 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1696 - Add uri_with tests
1698 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1707 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
1709 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1710 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1711 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1714 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1718 - Add docs for finalize hook (dhoss)
1719 - Added ru/ua translations to error page
1720 - Improve the clarity and verbosity of the warning when component
1721 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
1722 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
1723 keep-alive requests.
1724 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1725 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1726 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1727 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1729 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
