11 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
13 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
15 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
16 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
17 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
20 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00

39 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
41 Distribution META.yml changes:
42 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
43 mis-parses from the documentation.
44 - x_authority key added.
47 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
48 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
50 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
51 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
54 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
55 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
56 in bleadperl. RT#76437
58 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
59 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
62 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
63 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
65 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
66 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
67 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
69 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
72 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
73 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
74 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
75 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
76 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
77 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
79 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
81 - --background option for the server script now only closes
82 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
83 and other loggers which open a file handle when
84 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
85 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
86 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
89 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
92 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
93 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
94 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
95 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
97 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
100 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
103 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
104 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
105 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
106 included when not running from a checkout.
108 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
110 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
111 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
112 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
114 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
116 New features and refactoring:
117 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
118 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
119 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
121 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
122 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
123 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
126 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
127 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
128 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
130 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
132 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
133 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
134 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
135 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
136 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
137 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
139 Back compatibility fixes:
140 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
141 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
142 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
145 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
148 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
149 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
150 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
152 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
153 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
154 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
156 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
159 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
160 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
161 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
162 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
163 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
166 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
167 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
169 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
170 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
171 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
173 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
176 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
177 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
178 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
179 get them passed through to the application.
182 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
183 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
184 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
185 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
188 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
189 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
190 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
191 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
193 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
194 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
195 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
197 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
198 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
200 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
204 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
205 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
206 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
207 whereas before you had to say:
208 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
209 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
210 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
213 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
214 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
215 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
216 scripts in the application.
217 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
218 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
219 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
224 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
226 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
227 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
228 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
229 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
230 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
231 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
232 and provide an alternative.
234 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
238 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
241 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
244 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
246 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
247 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
248 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
249 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
250 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
251 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
255 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
256 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
258 Backward compatibility fixes:
260 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
261 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
265 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
266 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
268 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
270 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
272 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
273 Backward compatibility fixes:
275 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
276 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
278 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
282 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
283 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
284 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
286 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
288 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
289 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
291 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
295 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
297 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
299 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
301 Backward compatibility fixes:
303 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
305 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
306 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
307 for backward compatibility.
311 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
312 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
316 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
317 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
318 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
320 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
322 Backward compatibility fixes:
324 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
325 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
329 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
332 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
333 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
334 example) Coro is loaded.
336 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
337 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
339 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
340 using MooseX::Deamonize
342 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
343 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
344 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
345 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
346 deployed in these environments.
350 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
354 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
355 file for your application.
357 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
361 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
362 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
364 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
367 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
368 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
370 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
372 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
373 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
375 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
376 IO::Handle's behaviour.
378 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
379 was not breaking out correctly
381 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
382 to also work in the $c->component method.
384 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
385 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
386 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
388 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
390 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
392 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
394 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
395 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
398 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
400 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
403 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
407 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
408 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
409 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
411 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
414 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
416 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
417 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
418 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
420 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
423 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
424 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
425 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
426 the new major version of Catalyst.
429 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
430 of Catalyst has been much improved.
432 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
435 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
436 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
437 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
439 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
441 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
442 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
443 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
445 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
448 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
449 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
450 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
452 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
453 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
457 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
458 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
460 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
461 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
462 developers without changing their application code.
464 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
467 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
468 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
469 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
470 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
471 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
473 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
474 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
476 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
478 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
482 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
483 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
484 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
485 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
486 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
487 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
488 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
490 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
491 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
492 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
493 class, please tell us *now*.
495 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
498 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
500 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
501 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
502 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
503 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
504 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
505 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
508 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
509 the Content-Length header appropriately)
510 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
511 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
512 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
513 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
514 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
515 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
517 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
518 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
519 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
520 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
521 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
522 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
523 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
524 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
527 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
528 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
530 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
533 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
534 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
538 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
539 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
541 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
544 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
546 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
547 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
549 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
551 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
554 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
556 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
559 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
560 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
561 load Utils before MyApp.pm
563 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
566 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
568 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
569 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
570 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
571 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
572 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
574 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
577 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
578 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
579 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
582 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
583 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
588 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
591 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
594 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
595 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
596 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
597 the default action creation.
600 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
601 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
602 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
603 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
604 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
605 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
606 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
609 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
611 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
613 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
615 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
618 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
619 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
620 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
621 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
622 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
625 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
626 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
629 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
630 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
631 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
632 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
634 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
637 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
638 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
639 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
640 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
641 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
642 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
643 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
644 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
647 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
648 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
649 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
651 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
652 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
653 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
654 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
657 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
658 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
661 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
662 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
665 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
668 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
669 the content type and content length if available.
671 Refactoring / optimizations:
672 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
673 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
674 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
675 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
676 screen as easy to write.
677 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
678 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
679 in parameter filtering (for example).
680 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
681 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
682 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
683 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
684 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
687 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
688 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
689 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
690 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
692 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
695 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
696 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
698 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
701 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
702 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
704 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
707 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
708 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
709 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
710 which should not be encoded.
711 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
712 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
714 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
715 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
716 any set of args/captures.
718 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
719 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
721 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
725 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
727 - Various minor typo fixes.
730 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
732 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
735 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
736 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
737 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
740 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
741 - Clarify documentation about debug
744 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
745 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
746 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
748 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
751 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
752 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
756 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
757 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
759 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
760 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
761 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
762 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
763 argv key in the options hash.
764 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
765 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
766 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
767 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
769 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
773 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
774 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
775 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
776 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
777 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
779 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
783 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
784 encoding test controller.
786 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
788 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
789 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
790 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
791 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
793 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
794 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
795 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
796 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
797 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
799 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
803 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
804 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
805 less packed with information of no use.
809 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
811 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
813 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
814 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
815 the single character '0'.
816 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
819 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
820 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
821 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
823 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
825 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
826 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
827 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
828 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
829 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
830 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
831 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
832 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
833 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
834 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
835 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
836 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
838 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
839 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
841 Refactoring / cleanups:
842 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
843 (and then skipped) normally.
846 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
848 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
851 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
852 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
853 on the old behaviour.
855 Refactoring / cleanups:
856 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
857 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
859 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
862 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
863 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
864 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
865 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
866 as there is no recommended alternative.
867 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
868 fallback for fully qualified component names.
869 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
870 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
871 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
872 startup, rather than with the first hit.
873 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
874 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
875 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
876 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
877 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
878 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
879 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
880 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
883 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
884 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
885 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
886 deprecated and causes warnings).
887 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
888 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
889 in the correct order.
890 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
892 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
893 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
894 is deprecated (RT#51489)
897 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
898 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
899 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
900 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
901 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
903 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
904 exception classes need to implement.
905 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
906 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
909 Refactoring / cleanups:
910 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
911 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
912 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
913 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
914 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
915 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
916 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
918 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
921 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
922 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
923 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
924 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
926 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
927 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
928 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
931 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
932 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
935 Refactoring / cleanups:
936 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
937 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
938 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
939 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
940 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
942 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
945 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
946 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
947 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
948 now loaded at most once + tests.
949 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
950 is returned to 'actions'.
951 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
952 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
954 Refactoring / cleanups:
955 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
956 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
959 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
960 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
961 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
963 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
966 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
967 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
970 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
973 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
974 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
975 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
977 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
980 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
981 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
982 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
984 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
987 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
988 application class immutable without that option.
989 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
990 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
992 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
993 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
994 (hopefully) future versions.
995 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
996 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
998 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1000 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1001 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1002 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1003 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1004 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1006 Refactoring / cleanups:
1007 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1008 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1009 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1010 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1011 known issues with 5.8.3.
1012 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1013 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1016 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1017 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1018 for the controller namespace
1019 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1020 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1021 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1022 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1023 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1024 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1026 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1027 frontend port (jshirley)
1028 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1032 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1033 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1034 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1035 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1038 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1041 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1042 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1043 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1045 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1046 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1047 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1048 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1049 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1050 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1054 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1055 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1056 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1059 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1062 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1063 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1065 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1066 in some environments.
1067 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1068 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1069 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1070 except works correctly with closures.
1071 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1072 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1073 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1074 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1075 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1076 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1077 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1080 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1081 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1082 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1083 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1084 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1085 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1087 Refactoring / cleanups:
1088 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1089 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1090 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1091 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1093 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1094 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1095 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1097 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1098 again in Catalyst::Test
1100 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1103 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1104 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1107 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1110 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1111 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1112 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1114 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1117 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1118 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1121 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1122 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1126 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1127 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1128 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1129 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1130 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1132 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1133 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1134 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1135 controller naming. (random)
1136 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1137 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1138 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1139 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1140 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1142 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1144 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1145 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1146 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1148 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1149 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1150 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1151 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1152 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1153 to report 'Unknown Error'
1154 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1155 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1156 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1157 parse_on_demand is on
1159 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1160 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1161 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1162 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1163 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1164 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1165 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1166 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1167 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1169 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1170 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1171 Test::Aggregate is available.
1172 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1173 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1174 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1175 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1176 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1177 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1178 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1179 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1180 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1181 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1182 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1183 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1184 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1185 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1186 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1187 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1188 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1189 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1190 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1192 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1193 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1194 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1195 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1196 configuration in your application.
1198 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1199 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1200 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1202 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1203 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1205 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1206 has been made private
1207 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1208 the request parameters with undef + test
1209 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1210 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1212 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1214 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1215 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1216 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1218 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1219 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1220 warning on recent Moose versions.
1221 - Add delta documentation
1222 - Clean up recursion errors
1223 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1224 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1226 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1227 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1229 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1230 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)

1283 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1284 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
