1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Remove nasty hacks to make classes which are plain old perl work with
5 multiple levels away inherited from Moose classes which do metaclass roles.
6 This issue has been (more correcly) solved in core Moose instead of our
9 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
12 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
13 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
14 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
15 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
16 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
19 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
20 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
23 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
24 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
25 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
28 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
31 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
32 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
33 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
34 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
35 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
36 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
37 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
38 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
41 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
42 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
43 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
45 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
46 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
47 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
48 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
51 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
52 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
55 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
56 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
59 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
62 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
63 the content type and content length if available.
65 Refactoring / optimizations:
66 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
67 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
68 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
69 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
70 screen as easy to write.
71 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
72 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
73 in parameter filtering (for example).
74 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
75 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
76 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
77 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
78 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
81 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
82 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
83 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
84 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
86 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
89 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
90 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
92 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
95 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
96 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
98 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
101 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
102 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
103 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
104 which should not be encoded.
105 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
106 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
108 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
109 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
110 any set of args/captures.
112 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
113 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
115 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
119 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
121 - Various minor typo fixes.
124 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
126 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
129 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
130 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
131 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
134 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
135 - Clarify documentation about debug
138 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
139 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
140 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
142 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
145 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
146 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
150 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
151 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
153 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
154 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
155 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
156 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
157 argv key in the options hash.
158 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
159 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
160 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
161 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
163 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
167 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
168 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
169 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
170 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
171 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
173 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
177 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
178 encoding test controller.
180 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
182 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
183 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
184 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
185 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
187 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
188 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
189 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
190 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
191 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
193 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
197 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
198 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
199 less packed with information of no use.
203 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
205 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
207 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
208 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
209 the single character '0'.
210 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
213 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
214 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
215 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
217 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
219 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
220 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
221 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
222 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
223 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
224 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
225 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
226 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
227 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
228 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
229 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
230 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
232 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
233 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
235 Refactoring / cleanups:
236 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
237 (and then skipped) normally.
240 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
242 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
245 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
246 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
247 on the old behaviour.
249 Refactoring / cleanups:
250 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
251 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
253 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
256 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
257 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
258 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
259 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
260 as there is no recommended alternative.
261 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
262 fallback for fully qualified component names.
263 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
264 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
265 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
266 startup, rather than with the first hit.
267 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
268 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
269 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
270 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
271 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
272 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
273 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
274 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
277 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
278 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
279 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
280 deprecated and causes warnings).
281 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
282 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
283 in the correct order.
284 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
286 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
287 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
288 is deprecated (RT#51489)
291 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
292 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
293 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
294 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
295 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
297 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
298 exception classes need to implement.
299 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
300 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
303 Refactoring / cleanups:
304 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
305 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
306 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
307 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
308 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
309 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
310 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
312 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
315 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
316 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
317 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
318 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
320 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
321 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
322 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
325 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
326 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
329 Refactoring / cleanups:
330 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
331 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
332 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
333 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
334 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
336 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
339 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
340 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
341 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
342 now loaded at most once + tests.
343 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
344 is returned to 'actions'.
345 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
346 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
348 Refactoring / cleanups:
349 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
350 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
353 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
354 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
355 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
357 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
360 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
361 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
364 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
367 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
368 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
369 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
371 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
374 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
375 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
376 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
378 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
381 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
382 application class immutable without that option.
383 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
384 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
386 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
387 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
388 (hopefully) future versions.
389 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
390 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
392 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
394 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
395 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
396 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
397 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
398 Request-URI of the Request-Line
400 Refactoring / cleanups:
401 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
402 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
403 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
404 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
405 known issues with 5.8.3.
406 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
407 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
410 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
411 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
412 for the controller namespace
413 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
414 expand_component_module (rjbs)
415 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
416 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
417 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
418 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
420 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
421 frontend port (jshirley)
422 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
426 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
427 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
428 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
429 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
432 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
435 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
436 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
437 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
439 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
440 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
441 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
442 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
443 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
444 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
448 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
449 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
450 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
453 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
456 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
457 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
459 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
460 in some environments.
461 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
462 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
463 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
464 except works correctly with closures.
465 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
466 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
467 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
469 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
470 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
471 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
474 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
475 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
476 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
477 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
478 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
479 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
481 Refactoring / cleanups:
482 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
483 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
484 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
485 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
487 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
488 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
489 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
491 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
492 again in Catalyst::Test
494 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
497 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
498 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
501 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
504 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
505 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
506 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
508 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
511 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
512 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
515 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
516 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
520 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
521 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
522 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
523 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
524 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
526 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
527 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
528 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
529 controller naming. (random)
530 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
531 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
532 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
533 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
534 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
536 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
538 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
539 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
540 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
542 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
543 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
544 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
545 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
546 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
547 to report 'Unknown Error'
548 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
549 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
550 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
551 parse_on_demand is on
553 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
554 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
555 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
556 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
557 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
558 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
559 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
560 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
561 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
563 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
564 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
565 Test::Aggregate is available.
566 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
567 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
568 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
569 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
570 disabling functionality from base controllers.
571 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
572 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
573 incompatibility issues in some cases.
574 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
575 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
576 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
577 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
578 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
579 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
580 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
581 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
582 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
583 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
584 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
586 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
587 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
588 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
589 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
590 configuration in your application.

625 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
626 tries to chain to itself
628 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
629 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
630 - Tests for this (radek)

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

681 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
682 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
