1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 New features and refactoring:
4 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Reqiest
5 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
6 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
8 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
9 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
10 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
13 This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
14 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
15 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
17 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
19 Back compatibility fixes:
20 Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
21 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
22 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
25 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
26 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
27 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
29 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
32 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
33 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
34 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
35 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
36 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
39 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
40 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
42 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
43 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
44 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
46 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
49 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
50 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
51 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
52 get them passed through to the application.
55 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
56 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
57 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
58 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
61 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
62 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
63 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
64 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
66 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
67 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
68 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
70 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
71 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
73 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
77 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
78 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
79 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
80 whereas before you had to say:
81 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
82 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
83 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
86 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
87 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
88 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
89 scripts in the application.
90 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
91 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
92 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
97 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
99 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
100 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
101 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
102 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
103 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
104 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
105 and provide an alternative.
107 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
111 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
114 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
117 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
119 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
120 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
121 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
122 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
123 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
124 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
128 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
129 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
131 Backward compatibility fixes:
133 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
134 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
138 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
139 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
141 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
143 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
145 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
146 Backward compatibility fixes:
148 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
149 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
151 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
155 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
156 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
157 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
159 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
161 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
162 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
164 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
168 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
170 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
172 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
174 Backward compatibility fixes:
176 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
178 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
179 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
180 for backward compatibility.
184 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
185 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
189 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
190 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
191 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
193 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
195 Backward compatibility fixes:
197 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
198 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
202 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
205 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
206 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
207 example) Coro is loaded.
209 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
210 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
212 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
213 using MooseX::Deamonize
215 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
216 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
217 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
218 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
219 deployed in these environments.
223 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
227 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
228 file for your application.
230 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
234 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
235 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
237 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
240 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
241 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
243 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
245 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
246 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
248 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
249 IO::Handle's behaviour.
251 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
252 was not breaking out correctly
254 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
255 to also work in the $c->component method.
257 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
258 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
259 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
261 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
263 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
265 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
267 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
268 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
271 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
273 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
276 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
280 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
281 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
282 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
284 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
287 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
289 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
290 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
291 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
293 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
296 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
297 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
298 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
299 the new major version of Catalyst.
302 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
303 of Catalyst has been much improved.
305 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
308 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
309 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
310 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
312 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
314 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
315 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
316 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
318 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
321 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
322 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
323 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
325 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
326 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
330 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
331 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
333 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
334 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
335 developers without changing their application code.
337 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
340 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
341 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
342 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
343 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
344 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
346 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
347 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
349 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
351 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
355 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
356 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
357 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
358 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
359 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
360 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
361 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
363 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
364 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
365 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
366 class, please tell us *now*.
368 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
371 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
373 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
374 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
375 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
376 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
377 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
378 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
381 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
382 the Content-Length header appropriately)
383 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
384 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
385 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
386 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
387 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
388 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
390 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
391 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
392 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
393 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
394 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
395 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
396 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
397 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
400 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
401 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
403 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
406 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
407 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
411 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
412 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
414 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
417 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
419 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
420 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
422 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
424 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
427 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
429 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
432 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
433 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
434 load Utils before MyApp.pm
436 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
439 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
441 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
442 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
443 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
444 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
445 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
447 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
450 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
451 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
452 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
455 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
456 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
461 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
464 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
467 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
468 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
469 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
470 the default action creation.
473 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
474 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
475 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
476 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
477 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
478 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
479 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
482 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
484 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
486 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
488 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
491 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
492 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
493 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
494 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
495 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
498 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
499 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
502 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
503 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
504 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
505 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
507 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
510 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
511 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
512 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
513 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
514 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
515 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
516 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
517 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
520 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
521 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
522 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
524 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
525 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
526 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
527 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
530 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
531 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
534 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
535 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
538 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
541 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
542 the content type and content length if available.
544 Refactoring / optimizations:
545 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
546 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
547 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
548 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
549 screen as easy to write.
550 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
551 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
552 in parameter filtering (for example).
553 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
554 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
555 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
556 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
557 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
560 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
561 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
562 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
563 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
565 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
568 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
569 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
571 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
574 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
575 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
577 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
580 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
581 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
582 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
583 which should not be encoded.
584 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
585 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
587 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
588 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
589 any set of args/captures.
591 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
592 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
594 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
598 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
600 - Various minor typo fixes.
603 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
605 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
608 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
609 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
610 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
613 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
614 - Clarify documentation about debug
617 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
618 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
619 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
621 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
624 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
625 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
629 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
630 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
632 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
633 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
634 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
635 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
636 argv key in the options hash.
637 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
638 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
639 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
640 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
642 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
646 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
647 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
648 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
649 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
650 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
652 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
656 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
657 encoding test controller.
659 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
661 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
662 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
663 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
664 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
666 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
667 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
668 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
669 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
670 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
672 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
676 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
677 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
678 less packed with information of no use.
682 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
684 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
686 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
687 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
688 the single character '0'.
689 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
692 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
693 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
694 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
696 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
698 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
699 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
700 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
701 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
702 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
703 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
704 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
705 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
706 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
707 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
708 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
709 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
711 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
712 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
714 Refactoring / cleanups:
715 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
716 (and then skipped) normally.
719 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
721 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
724 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
725 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
726 on the old behaviour.
728 Refactoring / cleanups:
729 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
730 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
732 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
735 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
736 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
737 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
738 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
739 as there is no recommended alternative.
740 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
741 fallback for fully qualified component names.
742 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
743 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
744 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
745 startup, rather than with the first hit.
746 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
747 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
748 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
749 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
750 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
751 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
752 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
753 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
756 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
757 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
758 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
759 deprecated and causes warnings).
760 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
761 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
762 in the correct order.
763 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
765 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
766 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
767 is deprecated (RT#51489)
770 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
771 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
772 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
773 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
774 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
776 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
777 exception classes need to implement.
778 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
779 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
782 Refactoring / cleanups:
783 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
784 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
785 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
786 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
787 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
788 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
789 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
791 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
794 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
795 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
796 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
797 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
799 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
800 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
801 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
804 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
805 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
808 Refactoring / cleanups:
809 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
810 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
811 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
812 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
813 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
815 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
818 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
819 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
820 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
821 now loaded at most once + tests.
822 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
823 is returned to 'actions'.
824 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
825 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
827 Refactoring / cleanups:
828 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
829 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
832 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
833 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
834 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
836 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
839 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
840 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
843 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
846 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
847 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
848 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
850 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
853 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
854 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
855 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
857 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
860 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
861 application class immutable without that option.
862 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
863 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
865 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
866 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
867 (hopefully) future versions.
868 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
869 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
871 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
873 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
874 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
875 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
876 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
877 Request-URI of the Request-Line
879 Refactoring / cleanups:
880 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
881 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
882 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
883 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
884 known issues with 5.8.3.
885 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
886 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
889 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
890 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
891 for the controller namespace
892 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
893 expand_component_module (rjbs)
894 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
895 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
896 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
897 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
899 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
900 frontend port (jshirley)
901 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
905 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
906 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
907 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
908 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
911 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
914 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
915 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
916 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
918 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
919 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
920 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
921 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
922 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
923 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
927 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
928 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
929 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
932 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
935 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
936 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
938 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
939 in some environments.
940 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
941 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
942 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
943 except works correctly with closures.
944 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
945 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
946 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
948 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
949 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
950 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
953 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
954 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
955 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
956 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
957 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
958 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
960 Refactoring / cleanups:
961 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
962 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
963 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
964 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
966 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
967 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
968 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
970 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
971 again in Catalyst::Test
973 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
976 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
977 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
980 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
983 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
984 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
985 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
987 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
990 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
991 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
994 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
995 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
999 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1000 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1001 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1002 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1003 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1005 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1006 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1007 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1008 controller naming. (random)
1009 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1010 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1011 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1012 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1013 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1015 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1017 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1018 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1019 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1021 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1022 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1023 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1024 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1025 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1026 to report 'Unknown Error'
1027 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1028 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1029 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1030 parse_on_demand is on
1032 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1033 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1034 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1035 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1036 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1037 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1038 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1039 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1040 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1042 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1043 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1044 Test::Aggregate is available.
1045 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1046 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1047 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1048 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1049 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1050 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1051 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1052 incompatibility issues in some cases.

1057 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1058 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1059 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1060 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1061 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1062 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1063 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1065 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1066 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1067 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1068 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1069 configuration in your application.
1071 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1072 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1073 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1075 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1076 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1078 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1079 has been made private
1080 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1081 the request parameters with undef + test
1082 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1083 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1085 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1087 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1088 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1089 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1091 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1092 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1093 warning on recent Moose versions.
1094 - Add delta documentation
1095 - Clean up recursion errors
1096 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1097 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1099 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1100 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1102 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1103 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1104 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1105 tries to chain to itself
1107 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1108 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1109 - Tests for this (radek)
1110 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1111 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1112 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1113 - Tests for this (radek)
1114 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1115 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1116 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1117 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1119 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1120 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1122 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1124 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1125 in production versions
1126 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1127 the correct metaclass
1128 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1129 the restarter process
1130 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1131 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1133 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1134 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1135 immutable restart correctly.
1137 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1138 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1139 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1140 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1141 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1142 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1143 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1144 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1145 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1146 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1147 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1148 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1149 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1150 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1151 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1152 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1153 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1154 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1155 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1156 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1157 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1159 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1160 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1161 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1164 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1165 - Add uri_with tests
1167 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00

1178 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
1179 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
1180 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
1183 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00

1192 keep-alive requests.
1193 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1194 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1195 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1196 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1198 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1199 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1200 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1201 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1202 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1203 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1204 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller
1205 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
1206 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache
1207 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast
1208 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1209 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1210 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1211 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1212 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
