1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was
5 introduced by a change in December.
8 - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes.
11 5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06
12 - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining.
13 - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG
14 applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers.
15 - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are
18 5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28
19 - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors
20 reported while installing.
21 5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27
22 - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the
23 response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification.
24 - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object
25 that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this
26 case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta.
27 - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered
28 deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can
29 make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement
30 in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback.
31 - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++)
32 - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them.
33 - update copyright notices.
35 5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24
36 - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware.
37 - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing
38 fails to install (sorry).
39 - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as
40 described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the
41 middleware deal with it.
43 5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21
44 - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather
45 than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a
46 delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack
47 middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of
48 server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or
49 properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like
50 Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if
51 you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things
53 - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set
54 an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so
55 when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help
56 you find and remove unneeded response bodies.
57 - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you
58 fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the
59 length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength
60 - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and
61 swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head
62 - Merged fix for regressions from stable..
64 5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19
65 - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are
66 using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution
67 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application
71 - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase
72 to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use
73 configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin)
74 to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log
75 during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the
76 change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds.
80 - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom
81 logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config
82 - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that
84 - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the
85 populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting
86 up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well).
88 NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the
89 broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to
90 late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and
91 be aware of this possible issue </NOTE>.
93 - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think
94 that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea.
95 - Various POD formating fixed.
96 - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can
97 accept and issues that might arise.
100 - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression
101 introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release
104 - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered
105 private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention
106 for internal methods:
108 -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh
109 -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env
110 -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh
112 These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve
113 no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted
114 change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to
115 do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch.
117 5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04
118 - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++)
119 - Fixed missing date information in previous release
121 5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31
122 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
123 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
124 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
125 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
127 - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML
128 Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you
129 should use the classic ->body_parameters method.
130 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
131 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
132 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
133 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
134 cases to reflect this change.
136 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
137 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
138 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
139 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
140 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
141 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
142 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
143 those keys already exist). Keys added:
144 - plack.request.query
146 - plack.request.merged
147 - plack.request.http.body
148 (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005)
149 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
150 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
151 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
152 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
153 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
154 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
155 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
156 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
157 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
158 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
159 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
160 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
161 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
162 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
163 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
164 is a scalar or arrayref.
165 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
166 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
168 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
169 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
170 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
172 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
173 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
174 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
175 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
176 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
177 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
178 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
179 a development setup (ether++)
181 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
182 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
183 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
184 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
185 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
186 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
187 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
188 case t/data_handler.t
190 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
191 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
192 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
193 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
194 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
197 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
198 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
199 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
200 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
202 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
204 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
208 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
209 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
210 this fixes all of them.
211 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
212 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
213 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
214 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
216 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
219 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
220 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
221 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
222 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
223 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
224 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
225 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
227 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
228 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
229 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
230 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
231 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
232 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
234 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
235 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
236 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
237 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
238 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
239 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
240 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
241 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
243 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
246 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
247 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
248 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
249 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
250 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
251 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
253 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
254 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
255 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
256 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
257 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
258 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
261 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
262 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
263 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
264 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
265 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
266 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
267 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
268 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
269 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
270 in behavior is compatible on its own.
271 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
272 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
273 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
274 - Some test and documentation improvements
276 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
277 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
278 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
279 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
282 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
283 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
286 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
287 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
289 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
290 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
292 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
294 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
295 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
297 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
299 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
300 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
301 of request or response classes.
303 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
304 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
305 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
306 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
307 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
308 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
309 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
310 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
311 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
312 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
314 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
315 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
316 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
317 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
318 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
320 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
322 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
323 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
325 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
327 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
328 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
329 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
332 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
335 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
338 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
339 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
341 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
344 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
347 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
349 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
351 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
353 Distribution META.yml changes:
354 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
355 mis-parses from the documentation.
356 - x_authority key added.
359 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
360 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
362 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
363 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
364 is less than helpful.
366 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
367 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
368 in bleadperl. RT#76437
370 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
371 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
374 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
375 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
377 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
378 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
379 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
381 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
384 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
385 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
386 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
387 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
388 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
389 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
391 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
393 - --background option for the server script now only closes
394 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
395 and other loggers which open a file handle when
396 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
397 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
398 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
401 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
404 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
405 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
406 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
407 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
409 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
412 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
415 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
416 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
417 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
418 included when not running from a checkout.
420 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
422 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
423 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
424 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
426 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
428 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
430 New features and refactoring:
431 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
432 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
433 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
435 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
436 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
437 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
440 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
441 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
442 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
444 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
446 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
447 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
448 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
449 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
450 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
451 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
453 Back compatibility fixes:
454 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
455 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
456 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
459 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
462 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
463 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
464 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
466 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
467 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
468 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
470 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
473 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
474 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
475 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
476 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
477 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
480 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
481 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
483 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
484 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
485 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
487 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
490 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
491 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
492 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
493 get them passed through to the application.
496 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
497 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
498 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
499 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
502 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
503 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
504 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
505 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
507 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
508 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
509 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
511 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
512 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
514 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
518 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
519 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
520 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
521 whereas before you had to say:
522 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
523 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
524 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
527 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
528 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
529 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
530 scripts in the application.
531 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
532 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
533 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
538 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
540 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
541 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
542 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
543 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
544 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
545 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
546 and provide an alternative.
548 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
552 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
555 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
558 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
560 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
561 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
562 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
563 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
564 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
565 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
569 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
570 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
572 Backward compatibility fixes:
574 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
575 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
579 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
580 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
582 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
584 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
586 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
587 Backward compatibility fixes:
589 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
590 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
592 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
596 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
597 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
598 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
600 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
602 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
603 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
605 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
609 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
611 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
613 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
615 Backward compatibility fixes:
617 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
619 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
620 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
621 for backward compatibility.
625 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
626 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
630 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
631 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
632 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
634 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
636 Backward compatibility fixes:
638 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
639 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
643 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
646 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
647 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
648 example) Coro is loaded.
650 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
651 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
653 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
654 using MooseX::Deamonize
656 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
657 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
658 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
659 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
660 deployed in these environments.
664 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
668 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
669 file for your application.
671 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
675 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
676 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
678 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
681 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
682 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
684 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
686 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
687 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
689 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
690 IO::Handle's behaviour.
692 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
693 was not breaking out correctly
695 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
696 to also work in the $c->component method.
698 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
699 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
700 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
702 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
704 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
706 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
708 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
709 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
712 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
714 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
717 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
721 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
722 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
723 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
725 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
728 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
730 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
731 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
732 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
734 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
737 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
738 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
739 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
740 the new major version of Catalyst.
743 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
744 of Catalyst has been much improved.
746 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
749 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
750 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
751 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
753 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
755 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
756 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
757 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
759 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
762 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
763 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
764 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
766 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
767 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
771 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
772 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
774 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
775 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
776 developers without changing their application code.
778 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
781 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
782 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
783 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
784 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
785 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
787 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
788 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
790 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
792 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
796 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
797 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
798 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
799 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
800 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
801 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
802 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
804 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
805 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
806 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
807 class, please tell us *now*.
809 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
812 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
814 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
815 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
816 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
817 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
818 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
819 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
822 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
823 the Content-Length header appropriately)
824 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
825 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
826 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
827 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
828 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
829 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
831 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
832 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
833 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
834 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
835 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
836 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
837 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
838 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
841 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
842 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
844 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
847 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
848 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
852 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
853 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
855 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
858 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
860 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
861 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
863 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
865 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
868 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
870 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
873 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
874 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
875 load Utils before MyApp.pm
877 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
880 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
882 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
883 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
884 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
885 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
886 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
888 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
891 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
892 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
893 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
896 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
897 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
902 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
905 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
908 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
909 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
910 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
911 the default action creation.
914 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
915 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
916 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
917 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
918 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
919 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
920 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
923 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
925 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
927 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
929 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
932 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
933 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
934 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
935 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
936 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
939 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
940 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
943 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
944 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
945 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
946 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
948 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
951 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
952 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
953 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
954 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
955 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
956 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
957 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
958 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
961 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
962 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
963 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
965 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
966 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
967 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
968 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
971 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
972 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
975 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
976 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
979 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
982 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
983 the content type and content length if available.
985 Refactoring / optimizations:
986 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
987 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
988 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
989 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
990 screen as easy to write.
991 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
992 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
993 in parameter filtering (for example).
994 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
995 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
996 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
997 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
998 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
1001 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
1002 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
1003 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
1004 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
1006 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
1009 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
1010 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
1012 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
1015 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
1016 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
1018 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
1021 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
1022 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
1023 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
1024 which should not be encoded.
1025 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
1026 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
1028 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
1029 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
1030 any set of args/captures.
1032 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
1033 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
1035 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
1039 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
1041 - Various minor typo fixes.
1044 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
1046 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
1049 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
1050 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
1051 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
1054 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
1055 - Clarify documentation about debug
1058 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
1059 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
1060 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
1062 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
1065 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
1066 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
1070 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
1071 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
1073 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
1074 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
1075 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
1076 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
1077 argv key in the options hash.
1078 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
1079 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
1080 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
1081 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
1083 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
1087 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
1088 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
1089 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
1090 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
1091 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
1093 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
1097 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
1098 encoding test controller.
1100 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
1102 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
1103 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
1104 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
1105 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
1107 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
1108 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
1109 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
1110 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
1111 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
1113 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
1117 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
1118 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
1119 less packed with information of no use.
1123 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1125 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1127 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1128 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1129 the single character '0'.
1130 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1133 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1134 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1135 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1137 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1139 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1140 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1141 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1142 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1143 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1144 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1145 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1146 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1147 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1148 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1149 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1150 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1152 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1153 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1155 Refactoring / cleanups:
1156 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1157 (and then skipped) normally.
1160 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1162 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1165 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1166 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1167 on the old behaviour.
1169 Refactoring / cleanups:
1170 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1171 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1173 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1176 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1177 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1178 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1179 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1180 as there is no recommended alternative.
1181 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1182 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1183 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1184 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1185 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1186 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1187 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1188 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1189 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1190 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1191 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1192 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1193 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1194 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1197 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1198 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1199 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1200 deprecated and causes warnings).
1201 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1202 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1203 in the correct order.
1204 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1206 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1207 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1208 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1211 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1212 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1213 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1214 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1215 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1217 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1218 exception classes need to implement.
1219 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1220 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1223 Refactoring / cleanups:
1224 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1225 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1226 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1227 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1228 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1229 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1230 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1232 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1235 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1236 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1237 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1238 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1240 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1241 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1242 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1245 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1246 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1249 Refactoring / cleanups:
1250 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1251 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1252 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1253 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1254 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1256 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1259 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1260 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1261 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1262 now loaded at most once + tests.
1263 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1264 is returned to 'actions'.
1265 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1266 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1268 Refactoring / cleanups:
1269 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1270 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1273 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1274 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1275 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1277 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1280 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1281 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1284 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1287 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1288 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1289 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1291 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1294 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1295 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1296 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1298 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1301 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1302 application class immutable without that option.
1303 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1304 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1306 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1307 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1308 (hopefully) future versions.
1309 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1310 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1311 variables (RT#48555)
1312 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1314 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1315 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1316 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1317 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1318 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1320 Refactoring / cleanups:
1321 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1322 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1323 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1324 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1325 known issues with 5.8.3.
1326 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1327 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1330 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1331 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1332 for the controller namespace
1333 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1334 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1335 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1336 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1337 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1338 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1340 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1341 frontend port (jshirley)
1342 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1346 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1347 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1348 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1349 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1352 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1355 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1356 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1357 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1359 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1360 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1361 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1362 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1363 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1364 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1368 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1369 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1370 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1373 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1376 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1377 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1379 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1380 in some environments.
1381 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1382 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1383 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1384 except works correctly with closures.
1385 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1386 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1387 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1388 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1389 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1390 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1391 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1394 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1395 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1396 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1397 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1398 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1399 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1401 Refactoring / cleanups:
1402 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1403 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1404 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1405 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1407 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1408 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1409 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1411 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1412 again in Catalyst::Test
1414 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1417 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1418 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1421 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1424 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1425 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1426 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1428 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1431 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1432 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1435 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1436 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1440 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1441 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1442 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1443 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1444 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1446 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1447 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1448 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1449 controller naming. (random)
1450 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1451 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1452 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1453 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1454 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1456 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

1460 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1462 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1463 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1464 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1465 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1466 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1467 to report 'Unknown Error'
1468 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1469 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1470 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1471 parse_on_demand is on
1473 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1474 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1475 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1476 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1477 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1478 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1480 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1481 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1483 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1484 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1485 Test::Aggregate is available.
1486 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1487 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1488 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1489 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1490 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1499 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1500 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1501 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1502 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1503 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1504 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1506 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1507 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1508 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1509 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1510 configuration in your application.
1512 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1513 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1514 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1516 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1517 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1519 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1520 has been made private
1521 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten

1524 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1526 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1528 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1529 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1530 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1532 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

1534 warning on recent Moose versions.
1535 - Add delta documentation
1536 - Clean up recursion errors
1537 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1538 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1540 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1541 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1543 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1544 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1545 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1546 tries to chain to itself
1548 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1549 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1550 - Tests for this (radek)
1551 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1552 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1553 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1554 - Tests for this (radek)
1555 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1556 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1557 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1558 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1560 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1561 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1563 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1565 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1566 in production versions
1567 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1568 the correct metaclass
1569 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1570 the restarter process
1571 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1572 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1574 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1575 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1576 immutable restart correctly.
1578 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1579 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1589 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1590 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1591 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1592 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1593 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1594 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1595 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1596 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1597 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1598 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1600 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1601 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1602 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1605 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1606 - Add uri_with tests

1633 keep-alive requests.
1634 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
1635 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1636 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1637 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1639 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1640 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1641 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
1642 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
1643 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now
1644 - Bump Moose dependency to fix make_immutable bug
1645 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller

1649 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1650 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1651 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1652 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1653 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1654 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1655 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1656 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1657 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1658 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1660 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1661 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1663 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1664 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1665 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1667 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1668 test sync for engines easier
1669 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1670 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
1672 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional
1673 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
1674 rather than the stringified ref.
1675 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

1677 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp
1678 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp
1679 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1681 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1682 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1683 die, as it didn't in 5.70
1685 - Bump MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast dependency
1686 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1687 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1688 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1689 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1690 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1691 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1693 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1694 the key from the instance hash
1695 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
1696 trivial delegation methods
1697 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:
1698 Catalyst::Engine: _prepared_write
