1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
4 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
5 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
6 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
7 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
8 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
9 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
10 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
11 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
12 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
14 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
15 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
16 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
17 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
18 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
20 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
22 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
23 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
25 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
27 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
28 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
29 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
32 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
35 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
38 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
39 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
41 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
44 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
47 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
49 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
51 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
53 Distribution META.yml changes:
54 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
55 mis-parses from the documentation.
56 - x_authority key added.
59 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
60 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
62 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
63 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
66 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
67 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
68 in bleadperl. RT#76437
70 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
71 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
74 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
75 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
77 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
78 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
79 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
81 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
84 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
85 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
86 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
87 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
88 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
89 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
91 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
93 - --background option for the server script now only closes
94 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
95 and other loggers which open a file handle when
96 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
97 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
98 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
101 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
104 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
105 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
106 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
107 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
109 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
112 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
115 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
116 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
117 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
118 included when not running from a checkout.
120 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
122 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
123 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
124 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
126 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
128 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
130 New features and refactoring:
131 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
132 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
133 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
135 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
136 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
137 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
140 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
141 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
142 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
144 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
146 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
147 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
148 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
149 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
150 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
151 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
153 Back compatibility fixes:
154 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
155 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
156 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
159 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
162 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
163 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
164 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
166 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
167 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
168 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
170 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
173 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
174 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
175 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
176 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
177 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
180 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
181 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
183 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
184 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
185 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
187 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
190 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
191 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
192 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
193 get them passed through to the application.
196 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
197 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
198 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
199 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
202 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
203 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
204 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
205 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
207 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
208 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
209 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
211 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
212 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
214 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
218 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
219 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
220 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
221 whereas before you had to say:
222 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
223 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
224 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
227 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
228 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
229 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
230 scripts in the application.
231 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
232 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
233 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
238 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
240 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
241 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
242 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
243 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
244 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
245 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
246 and provide an alternative.
248 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
252 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
255 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
258 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
260 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
261 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
262 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
263 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
264 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
265 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
269 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
270 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
272 Backward compatibility fixes:
274 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
275 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
279 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
280 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
282 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
284 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
286 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
287 Backward compatibility fixes:
289 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
290 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
292 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
296 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
297 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
298 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
300 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
302 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
303 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
305 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
309 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
311 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
313 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
315 Backward compatibility fixes:
317 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
319 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
320 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
321 for backward compatibility.
325 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
326 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
330 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
331 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
332 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
334 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
336 Backward compatibility fixes:
338 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
339 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
343 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
346 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
347 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
348 example) Coro is loaded.
350 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
351 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
353 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
354 using MooseX::Deamonize
356 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
357 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
358 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
359 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
360 deployed in these environments.
364 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
368 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
369 file for your application.
371 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
375 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
376 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
378 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
381 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
382 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
384 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
386 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
387 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
389 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
390 IO::Handle's behaviour.
392 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
393 was not breaking out correctly
395 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
396 to also work in the $c->component method.
398 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
399 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
400 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
402 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
404 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
406 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
408 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
409 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
412 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
414 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
417 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
421 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
422 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
423 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
425 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
428 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
430 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
431 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
432 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
434 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
437 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
438 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
439 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
440 the new major version of Catalyst.
443 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
444 of Catalyst has been much improved.
446 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
449 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
450 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
451 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
453 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
455 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
456 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
457 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
459 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
462 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
463 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
464 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
466 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
467 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
471 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
472 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
474 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
475 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
476 developers without changing their application code.
478 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
481 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
482 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
483 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
484 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
485 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
487 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
488 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
490 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
492 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
496 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
497 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
498 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
499 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
500 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
501 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
502 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
504 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
505 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
506 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
507 class, please tell us *now*.
509 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
512 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
514 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
515 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
516 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
517 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
518 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
519 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
522 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
523 the Content-Length header appropriately)
524 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
525 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
526 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
527 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
528 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
529 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
531 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
532 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
533 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
534 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
535 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
536 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
537 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
538 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
541 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
542 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
544 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
547 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
548 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
552 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
553 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
555 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
558 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
560 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
561 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
563 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
565 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
568 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
570 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
573 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
574 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
575 load Utils before MyApp.pm
577 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
580 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
582 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
583 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
584 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
585 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
586 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
588 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
591 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
592 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
593 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
596 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
597 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
602 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
605 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
608 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
609 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
610 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
611 the default action creation.
614 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
615 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
616 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
617 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
618 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
619 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
620 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
623 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
625 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
627 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
629 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
632 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
633 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
634 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
635 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
636 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
639 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
640 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
643 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
644 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
645 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
646 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
648 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
651 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
652 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
653 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
654 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
655 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
656 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
657 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
658 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
661 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
662 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
663 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
665 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
666 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
667 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
668 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
671 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
672 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
675 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
676 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
679 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
682 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
683 the content type and content length if available.
685 Refactoring / optimizations:
686 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
687 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
688 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
689 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
690 screen as easy to write.
691 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
692 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
693 in parameter filtering (for example).
694 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
695 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
696 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
697 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
698 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
701 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
702 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
703 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
704 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
706 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
709 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
710 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
712 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
715 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
716 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
718 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
721 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
722 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
723 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
724 which should not be encoded.
725 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
726 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
728 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
729 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
730 any set of args/captures.
732 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
733 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
735 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
739 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
741 - Various minor typo fixes.
744 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
746 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
749 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
750 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
751 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
754 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
755 - Clarify documentation about debug
758 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
759 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
760 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
762 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
765 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
766 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
770 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
771 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
773 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
774 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
775 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
776 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
777 argv key in the options hash.
778 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
779 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
780 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
781 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
783 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
787 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
788 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
789 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
790 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
791 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
793 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
797 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
798 encoding test controller.
800 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
802 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
803 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
804 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
805 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
807 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
808 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
809 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
810 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
811 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
813 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
817 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
818 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
819 less packed with information of no use.
823 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
825 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
827 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
828 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
829 the single character '0'.
830 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
833 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
834 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
835 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
837 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
839 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
840 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
841 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
842 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
843 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
844 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
845 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
846 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
847 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
848 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
849 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
850 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
852 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
853 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
855 Refactoring / cleanups:
856 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
857 (and then skipped) normally.
860 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
862 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
865 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
866 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
867 on the old behaviour.
869 Refactoring / cleanups:
870 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
871 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
873 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
876 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
877 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
878 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
879 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
880 as there is no recommended alternative.
881 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
882 fallback for fully qualified component names.
883 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
884 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
885 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
886 startup, rather than with the first hit.
887 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
888 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
889 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
890 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
891 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
892 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
893 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
894 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
897 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
898 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
899 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
900 deprecated and causes warnings).
901 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
902 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
903 in the correct order.
904 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
906 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
907 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
908 is deprecated (RT#51489)
911 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
912 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
913 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
914 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
915 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
917 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
918 exception classes need to implement.
919 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
920 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
923 Refactoring / cleanups:
924 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
925 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
926 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
927 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
928 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
929 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
930 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
932 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
935 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
936 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
937 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
938 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
940 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
941 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
942 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
945 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
946 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
949 Refactoring / cleanups:
950 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
951 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
952 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
953 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
954 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
956 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
959 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
960 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
961 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
962 now loaded at most once + tests.
963 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
964 is returned to 'actions'.
965 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
966 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
968 Refactoring / cleanups:
969 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
970 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
973 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
974 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
975 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
977 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
980 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
981 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
984 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
987 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
988 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
989 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
991 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
994 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
995 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
996 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
998 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1001 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1002 application class immutable without that option.
1003 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1004 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1006 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1007 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1008 (hopefully) future versions.
1009 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1010 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1011 variables (RT#48555)
1012 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1014 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1015 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1016 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1017 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1018 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1020 Refactoring / cleanups:
1021 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1022 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1023 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1024 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1025 known issues with 5.8.3.
1026 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1027 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1030 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1031 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1032 for the controller namespace
1033 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1034 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1035 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1036 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1037 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1038 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1040 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1041 frontend port (jshirley)
1042 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1046 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1047 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1048 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1049 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1052 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1055 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1056 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1057 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1059 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1060 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1061 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1062 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1063 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1064 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1068 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1069 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1070 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1073 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1076 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1077 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1079 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1080 in some environments.
1081 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1082 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1083 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1084 except works correctly with closures.
1085 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1086 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1087 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1088 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1089 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1090 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1091 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1094 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1095 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1096 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1097 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1098 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1099 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1101 Refactoring / cleanups:
1102 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1103 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1104 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1105 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1107 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1108 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1109 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1111 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1112 again in Catalyst::Test
1114 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1117 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1118 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1121 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1124 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1125 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1126 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1128 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1131 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1132 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1135 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1136 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1140 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1141 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1142 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1143 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1144 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1146 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1147 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1148 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1149 controller naming. (random)
1150 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1151 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1152 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1153 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1154 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1156 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1158 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1159 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1160 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1162 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1163 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1164 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1165 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1166 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1167 to report 'Unknown Error'
1168 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1169 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1170 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1171 parse_on_demand is on
1173 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1174 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1175 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1176 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1177 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1178 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1179 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1180 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1181 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1183 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1184 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1185 Test::Aggregate is available.
1186 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1187 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1188 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1189 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1190 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1191 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1192 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1193 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1194 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1195 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1196 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1197 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1198 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1199 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1200 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1201 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1202 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1203 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1204 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1206 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1207 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1208 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1209 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1210 configuration in your application.
1212 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1213 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1214 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1216 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1217 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1219 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1220 has been made private
1221 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1222 the request parameters with undef + test
1223 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1224 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width

1249 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1250 - Tests for this (radek)
