4 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
6 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
9 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
10 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
14 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
15 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
17 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
18 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
19 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
20 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
21 argv key in the options hash.
22 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
23 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
24 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
25 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
27 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
31 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
32 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
33 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
34 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
35 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
37 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
41 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
42 encoding test controller.
44 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
46 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
47 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
48 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
49 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
51 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
52 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
53 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
54 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
55 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
57 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
61 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
62 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
63 less packed with information of no use.
67 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
69 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
71 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
72 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
73 the single character '0'.
74 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
77 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
78 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
79 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
81 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
83 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
84 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
85 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
86 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
87 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
88 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
89 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
90 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
91 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
92 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
93 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
94 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
96 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
97 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
99 Refactoring / cleanups:
100 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
101 (and then skipped) normally.
104 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
106 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
109 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
110 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
111 on the old behaviour.
113 Refactoring / cleanups:
114 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
115 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
117 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
120 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
121 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
122 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
123 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
124 as there is no recommended alternative.
125 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
126 fallback for fully qualified component names.
127 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
128 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
129 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
130 startup, rather than with the first hit.
131 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
132 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
133 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
134 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
135 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
136 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
137 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
138 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
141 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
142 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
143 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
144 deprecated and causes warnings).
145 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
146 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
147 in the correct order.
148 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
150 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
151 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
152 is deprecated (RT#51489)
155 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
156 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
157 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
158 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
159 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
161 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
162 exception classes need to implement.
163 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
164 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
167 Refactoring / cleanups:
168 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
169 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
170 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
171 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
172 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
173 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
174 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
176 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
179 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
180 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
181 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
182 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
184 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
185 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
186 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
189 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
190 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
193 Refactoring / cleanups:
194 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
195 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
196 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
197 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
198 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
200 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
203 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
204 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
205 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
206 now loaded at most once + tests.
207 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
208 is returned to 'actions'.
209 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
210 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
212 Refactoring / cleanups:
213 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
214 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
217 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
218 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
219 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
221 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
224 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
225 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
228 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
231 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
232 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
233 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
235 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
238 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
239 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
240 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
242 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
245 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
246 application class immutable without that option.
247 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
248 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
250 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
251 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
252 (hopefully) future versions.
253 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
254 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
256 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
258 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
259 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
260 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
261 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
262 Request-URI of the Request-Line
264 Refactoring / cleanups:
265 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
266 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
267 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
268 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
269 known issues with 5.8.3.
270 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
271 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
274 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
275 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
276 for the controller namespace
277 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
278 expand_component_module (rjbs)
279 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
280 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
281 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
282 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
284 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
285 frontend port (jshirley)
286 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
290 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
291 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
292 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
293 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
296 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
299 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
300 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
301 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
303 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
304 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
305 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
306 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
307 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
308 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
312 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
313 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
314 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
317 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
320 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
321 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
323 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
324 in some environments.
325 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
326 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
327 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
328 except works correctly with closures.
329 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
330 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
331 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
333 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
334 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
335 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
338 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
339 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
340 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
341 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
342 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
343 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
345 Refactoring / cleanups:
346 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
347 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
348 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
349 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
351 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
352 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
353 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
355 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
356 again in Catalyst::Test
358 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
361 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
362 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
365 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
368 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
369 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
370 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
372 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
375 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
376 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
379 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
380 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
384 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
385 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
386 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
387 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
388 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
390 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
391 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
392 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
393 controller naming. (random)
394 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
395 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
396 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
397 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
398 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
400 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
402 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
403 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
404 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
406 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
407 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
408 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
409 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
410 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
411 to report 'Unknown Error'
412 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
413 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
414 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
415 parse_on_demand is on
417 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
418 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
419 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
420 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
421 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
422 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
423 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
424 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
425 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
427 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
428 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
429 Test::Aggregate is available.
430 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
431 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
432 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
433 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
434 disabling functionality from base controllers.
435 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
436 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
437 incompatibility issues in some cases.
438 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
439 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
440 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
441 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
442 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
443 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
444 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
445 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
446 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
447 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
448 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
450 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
451 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
452 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
453 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
454 configuration in your application.
456 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
457 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
458 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
460 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
461 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
463 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
464 has been made private
465 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
466 the request parameters with undef + test
467 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
468 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
470 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
472 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
473 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
474 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
476 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
477 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
478 warning on recent Moose versions.
479 - Add delta documentation
480 - Clean up recursion errors
481 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
482 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
484 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
485 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
487 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
488 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
489 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
490 tries to chain to itself
492 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
493 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
494 - Tests for this (radek)
495 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
496 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
497 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
498 - Tests for this (radek)
499 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
500 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
501 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
502 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
504 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
505 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
507 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
509 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
510 in production versions
511 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
512 the correct metaclass
513 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
514 the restarter process
515 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
516 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
518 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
519 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
520 immutable restart correctly.
522 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
523 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
524 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
525 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
526 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
527 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
528 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
529 - namespace::clean related cleanups
530 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
531 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
532 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
533 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
534 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
535 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
536 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
537 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
538 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
539 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
540 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
541 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
542 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
544 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
545 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
546 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
549 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
552 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
553 - Disallow writing to config after setup

563 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
564 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
565 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
568 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
