1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
5 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
6 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
7 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
8 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
9 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
10 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
12 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
13 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
14 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
15 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
16 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
17 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
19 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
22 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
23 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
24 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
25 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
26 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
27 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
29 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
30 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
31 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
32 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
33 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
34 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
37 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
38 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
39 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
40 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
41 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
42 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
43 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
44 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
45 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
46 in behavior is compatible on its own.
47 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
48 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
49 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
50 - Some test and documentation improvements
52 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
53 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
54 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
55 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
58 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
59 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
62 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
63 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
65 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
66 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
68 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
70 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
71 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
73 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
75 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
76 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
77 of request or response classes.
79 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
80 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
81 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
82 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
83 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
84 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
85 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
86 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
87 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
88 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
90 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
91 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
92 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
93 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
94 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
96 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
98 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
99 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
101 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
103 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
104 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
105 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
108 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
111 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
114 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
115 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
117 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
120 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
123 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
125 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
127 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
129 Distribution META.yml changes:
130 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
131 mis-parses from the documentation.
132 - x_authority key added.
135 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
136 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
138 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
139 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
140 is less than helpful.
142 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
143 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
144 in bleadperl. RT#76437
146 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
147 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
150 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
151 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
153 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
154 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
155 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
157 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
160 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
161 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
162 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
163 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
164 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
165 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
167 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
169 - --background option for the server script now only closes
170 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
171 and other loggers which open a file handle when
172 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
173 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
174 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
177 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
180 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
181 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
182 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
183 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
185 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
188 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
191 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
192 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
193 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
194 included when not running from a checkout.
196 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
198 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
199 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
200 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
202 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
204 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
206 New features and refactoring:
207 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
208 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
209 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
211 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
212 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
213 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
216 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
217 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
218 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
220 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
222 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
223 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
224 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
225 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
226 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
227 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
229 Back compatibility fixes:
230 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
231 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
232 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
235 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
238 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
239 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
240 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
242 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
243 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
244 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
246 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
249 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
250 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
251 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
252 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
253 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
256 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
257 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
259 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
260 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
261 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
263 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
266 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
267 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
268 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
269 get them passed through to the application.
272 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
273 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
274 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
275 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
278 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
279 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
280 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
281 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
283 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
284 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
285 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
287 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
288 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
290 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
294 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
295 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
296 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
297 whereas before you had to say:
298 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
299 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
300 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
303 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
304 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
305 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
306 scripts in the application.
307 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
308 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
309 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
314 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
316 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
317 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
318 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
319 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
320 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
321 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
322 and provide an alternative.
324 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
328 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
331 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
334 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
336 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
337 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
338 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
339 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
340 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
341 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
345 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
346 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
348 Backward compatibility fixes:
350 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
351 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
355 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
356 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
358 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
360 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
362 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
363 Backward compatibility fixes:
365 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
366 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
368 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
372 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
373 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
374 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
376 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
378 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
379 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
381 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
385 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
387 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
389 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
391 Backward compatibility fixes:
393 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
395 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
396 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
397 for backward compatibility.
401 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
402 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
406 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
407 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
408 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
410 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
412 Backward compatibility fixes:
414 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
415 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
419 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
422 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
423 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
424 example) Coro is loaded.
426 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
427 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
429 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
430 using MooseX::Deamonize
432 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
433 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
434 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
435 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
436 deployed in these environments.
440 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
444 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
445 file for your application.
447 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
451 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
452 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
454 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
457 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
458 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
460 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
462 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
463 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
465 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
466 IO::Handle's behaviour.
468 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
469 was not breaking out correctly
471 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
472 to also work in the $c->component method.
474 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
475 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
476 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
478 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
480 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
482 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
484 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
485 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
488 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
490 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
493 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
497 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
498 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
499 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
501 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
504 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
506 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
507 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
508 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
510 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
513 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
514 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
515 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
516 the new major version of Catalyst.
519 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
520 of Catalyst has been much improved.
522 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
525 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
526 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
527 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
529 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
531 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
532 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
533 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
535 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
538 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
539 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
540 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
542 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
543 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
547 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
548 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
550 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
551 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
552 developers without changing their application code.
554 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
557 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
558 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
559 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
560 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
561 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
563 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
564 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
566 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
568 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
572 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
573 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
574 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
575 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
576 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
577 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
578 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
580 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
581 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
582 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
583 class, please tell us *now*.
585 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
588 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
590 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
591 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
592 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
593 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
594 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
595 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
598 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
599 the Content-Length header appropriately)
600 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
601 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
602 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
603 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
604 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
605 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
607 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
608 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
609 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
610 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
611 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
612 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
613 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
614 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
617 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
618 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
620 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
623 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
624 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
628 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
629 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
631 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
634 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
636 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
637 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
639 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
641 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
644 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
646 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
649 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
650 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
651 load Utils before MyApp.pm
653 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
656 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
658 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
659 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
660 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
661 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
662 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
664 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
667 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
668 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
669 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
672 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
673 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
678 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
681 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
684 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
685 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
686 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
687 the default action creation.
690 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
691 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
692 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
693 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
694 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
695 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
696 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
699 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
701 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
703 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
705 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
708 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
709 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
710 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
711 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
712 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
715 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
716 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
719 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
720 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
721 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
722 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
724 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
727 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
728 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
729 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
730 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
731 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
732 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
733 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
734 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
737 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
738 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
739 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
741 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
742 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
743 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
744 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
747 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
748 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
751 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
752 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
755 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
758 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
759 the content type and content length if available.
761 Refactoring / optimizations:
762 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
763 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
764 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
765 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
766 screen as easy to write.
767 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
768 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
769 in parameter filtering (for example).
770 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
771 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
772 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
773 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
774 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
777 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
778 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
779 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
780 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
782 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
785 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
786 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
788 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
791 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
792 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
794 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
797 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
798 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
799 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
800 which should not be encoded.
801 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
802 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
804 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
805 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
806 any set of args/captures.
808 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
809 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
811 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
815 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
817 - Various minor typo fixes.
820 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
822 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
825 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
826 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
827 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
830 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
831 - Clarify documentation about debug
834 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
835 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
836 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
838 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
841 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
842 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
846 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
847 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
849 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
850 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
851 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
852 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
853 argv key in the options hash.
854 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
855 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
856 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
857 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
859 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
863 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
864 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
865 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
866 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
867 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
869 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
873 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
874 encoding test controller.
876 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
878 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
879 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
880 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
881 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
883 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
884 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
885 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
886 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
887 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
889 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
893 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
894 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
895 less packed with information of no use.
899 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
901 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
903 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
904 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
905 the single character '0'.
906 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
909 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
910 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
911 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
913 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
915 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
916 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
917 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
918 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
919 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
920 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
921 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
922 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
923 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
924 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
925 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
926 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
928 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
929 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
931 Refactoring / cleanups:
932 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
933 (and then skipped) normally.
936 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
938 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
941 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
942 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
943 on the old behaviour.
945 Refactoring / cleanups:
946 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
947 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
949 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
952 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
953 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
954 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
955 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
956 as there is no recommended alternative.
957 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
958 fallback for fully qualified component names.
959 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
960 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
961 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
962 startup, rather than with the first hit.
963 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
964 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
965 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
966 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
967 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
968 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
969 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
970 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
973 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
974 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
975 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
976 deprecated and causes warnings).
977 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
978 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
979 in the correct order.
980 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
982 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
983 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
984 is deprecated (RT#51489)
987 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
988 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
989 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
990 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
991 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
993 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
994 exception classes need to implement.
995 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
996 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
999 Refactoring / cleanups:
1000 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1001 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1002 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1003 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1004 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1005 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1006 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1008 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1011 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1012 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1013 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1014 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1016 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1017 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1018 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1021 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1022 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1025 Refactoring / cleanups:
1026 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1027 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1028 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1029 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1030 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1032 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1035 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1036 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1037 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1038 now loaded at most once + tests.
1039 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1040 is returned to 'actions'.
1041 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1042 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1044 Refactoring / cleanups:
1045 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1046 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1049 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1050 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1051 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1053 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1056 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1057 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1060 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1063 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1064 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1065 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1067 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1070 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1071 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1072 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1074 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1077 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1078 application class immutable without that option.
1079 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1080 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1082 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1083 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1084 (hopefully) future versions.
1085 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1086 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1087 variables (RT#48555)
1088 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1090 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1091 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1092 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1093 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1094 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1096 Refactoring / cleanups:
1097 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1098 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1099 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1100 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1101 known issues with 5.8.3.
1102 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1103 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1106 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1107 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1108 for the controller namespace
1109 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1110 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1111 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1112 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1113 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1114 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1116 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1117 frontend port (jshirley)
1118 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1122 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1123 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1124 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1125 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1128 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1131 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1132 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1133 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1135 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1136 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1137 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1138 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1139 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1140 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1144 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1145 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1146 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1149 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1152 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1153 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1155 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1156 in some environments.
1157 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1158 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1159 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1160 except works correctly with closures.
1161 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1162 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1163 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1164 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1165 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1166 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1167 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1170 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1171 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1172 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1173 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1174 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1175 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1177 Refactoring / cleanups:
1178 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1179 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1180 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1181 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1183 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1184 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1185 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1187 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1188 again in Catalyst::Test
1190 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1193 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1194 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1197 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1200 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1201 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1202 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1204 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1207 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1208 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1211 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1212 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1216 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1217 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1218 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1219 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1220 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1222 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1223 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1224 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1225 controller naming. (random)

1236 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1238 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1239 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1240 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1241 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1242 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1243 to report 'Unknown Error'
1244 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1245 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1246 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when

1250 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1251 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1252 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1262 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1263 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

1279 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1280 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1282 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1283 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1284 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1285 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1286 configuration in your application.

1319 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1320 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1321 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1322 tries to chain to itself
1324 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1325 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1326 - Tests for this (radek)
1327 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1328 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1329 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1330 - Tests for this (radek)

1341 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1342 in production versions
1343 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1344 the correct metaclass
1345 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1346 the restarter process
1347 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1348 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1350 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1351 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1352 immutable restart correctly.
1354 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1355 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1367 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1368 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1369 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1371 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1372 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1373 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1374 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1376 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1377 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1415 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1416 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1417 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1428 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1429 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1437 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1439 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1440 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1465 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1466 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1467 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1589 throw warnings for two reasons:
1590 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1591 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1638 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1639 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
