1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
5 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
9 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
10 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
12 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
13 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
14 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
15 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
16 argv key in the options hash.
17 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
18 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
19 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
20 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
22 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
26 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
27 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
28 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
29 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
30 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
32 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
36 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
37 encoding test controller.
39 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
41 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
42 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
43 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
44 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
46 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
47 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
48 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
49 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
50 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
52 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
56 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
57 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
58 less packed with information of no use.
62 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
64 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
66 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
67 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
68 the single character '0'.
69 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
72 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
73 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
74 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
76 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
78 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
79 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
80 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
81 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
82 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
83 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
84 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
85 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
86 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
87 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
88 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
89 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
91 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
92 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
94 Refactoring / cleanups:
95 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
96 (and then skipped) normally.
99 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
101 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
104 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
105 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
106 on the old behaviour.
108 Refactoring / cleanups:
109 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
110 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
112 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
115 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
116 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
117 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
118 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
119 as there is no recommended alternative.
120 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
121 fallback for fully qualified component names.
122 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
123 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
124 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
125 startup, rather than with the first hit.
126 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
127 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
128 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
129 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
130 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
131 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
132 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
133 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
136 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
137 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
138 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
139 deprecated and causes warnings).
140 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
141 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
142 in the correct order.
143 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
145 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
146 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
147 is deprecated (RT#51489)
150 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
151 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
152 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
153 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
154 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
156 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
157 exception classes need to implement.
158 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
159 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
162 Refactoring / cleanups:
163 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
164 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
165 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
166 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
167 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
168 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
169 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
171 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
174 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
175 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
176 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
177 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
179 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
180 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
181 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
184 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
185 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
188 Refactoring / cleanups:
189 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
190 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
191 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
192 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
193 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
195 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
198 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
199 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
200 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
201 now loaded at most once + tests.
202 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
203 is returned to 'actions'.
204 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
205 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
207 Refactoring / cleanups:
208 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
209 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
212 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
213 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
214 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
216 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
219 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
220 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
223 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
226 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
227 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
228 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
230 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
233 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
234 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
235 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
237 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
240 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
241 application class immutable without that option.
242 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
243 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
245 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
246 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
247 (hopefully) future versions.
248 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
249 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
251 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
253 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
254 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
255 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
256 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
257 Request-URI of the Request-Line
259 Refactoring / cleanups:
260 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
261 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
262 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
263 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
264 known issues with 5.8.3.
265 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
266 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
269 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
270 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
271 for the controller namespace
272 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
273 expand_component_module (rjbs)
274 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
275 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
276 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
277 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
279 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
280 frontend port (jshirley)
281 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
285 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
286 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
287 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
288 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
291 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
294 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
295 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
296 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
298 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
299 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
300 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
301 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
302 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
303 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
307 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
308 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
309 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
312 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
315 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
316 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
318 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
319 in some environments.
320 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
321 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
322 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
323 except works correctly with closures.
324 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
325 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
326 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
328 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
329 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
330 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
333 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
334 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
335 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
336 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
337 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
338 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
340 Refactoring / cleanups:
341 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
342 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
343 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
344 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
346 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
347 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
348 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
350 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
351 again in Catalyst::Test
353 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
356 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
357 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
360 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
363 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
364 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
365 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
367 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
370 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
371 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
374 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
375 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
379 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
380 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
381 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
382 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
383 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
385 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
386 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
387 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
388 controller naming. (random)
389 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
390 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
391 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
392 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
393 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
395 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
397 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
398 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
399 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
401 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
402 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
403 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
404 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
405 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
406 to report 'Unknown Error'
407 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
408 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
409 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
410 parse_on_demand is on
412 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
413 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
414 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
415 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
416 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
417 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
418 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
419 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
420 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
422 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
423 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
424 Test::Aggregate is available.
425 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
426 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
427 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
428 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
429 disabling functionality from base controllers.
430 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
431 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
432 incompatibility issues in some cases.
433 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
434 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
435 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
436 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
437 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
438 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
439 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
440 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
441 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
442 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
443 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
445 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
446 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
447 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
448 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
449 configuration in your application.
451 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
452 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
453 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
455 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
456 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
458 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
459 has been made private
460 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
461 the request parameters with undef + test
462 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
463 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
465 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
467 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
468 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
469 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
471 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
472 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
473 warning on recent Moose versions.
474 - Add delta documentation
475 - Clean up recursion errors
476 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
477 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
479 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
480 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
482 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
483 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
484 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
485 tries to chain to itself
487 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
488 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
489 - Tests for this (radek)
490 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
491 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
492 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
493 - Tests for this (radek)
494 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
495 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
496 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
497 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
499 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
500 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
502 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
504 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
505 in production versions
506 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
507 the correct metaclass
508 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
509 the restarter process
510 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
511 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
513 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
514 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
515 immutable restart correctly.
517 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
518 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
519 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
520 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
521 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
522 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
523 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
524 - namespace::clean related cleanups
525 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
526 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
527 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
528 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
529 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
530 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
531 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
532 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
533 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
534 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
535 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
536 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
537 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
539 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
540 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
541 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
544 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
547 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
548 - Disallow writing to config after setup
549 - Disallow calling setup more than once
550 - Documentation fix regarding overloading of Engine and Dispatcher
552 - Several documentation typo fixes
553 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
554 - Improved upgrading documentation
555 - Seed the RNG in each FastCGI child process (Andrew Rodland)
556 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server
558 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
559 after trying to create a listening socket (Closes RT#41828)
560 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
563 5.8000_05 2008-29-01 00:00
564 - Text::SimpleTable's go as wide as $ENV{COLUMNS} (jhannah)
565 Patch written by Oleg Kostyuk <cub.uanic@gmail.com>
566 - Improve docs for visit (mateu)
567 - Add docs for finalize hook (dhoss)
568 - Added ru/ua translations to error page
569 - Improve the clarity and verbosity of the warning when component
570 resolution uses regex fallback. (jhannah)
571 - Handle leading CRLF in HTTP requests sometimes sent by IE6 in
573 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
574 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
