4 - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you
5 to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier
6 to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such
7 as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic
9 - TODO: body_data should slurp classic formdata
10 - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace
11 since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public
12 API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body',
13 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test
14 cases to reflect this change.
16 5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18
17 - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses
18 whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should
19 improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed.
20 - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++)
21 - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with
22 downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if
23 those keys already exist). Keys added:
26 - plack.request.merged
27 - plack.request.http.body
28 - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the
29 buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream
30 psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst
31 sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't
32 read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make
33 sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle
34 so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps.
35 - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI
36 specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack
37 applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response
38 - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request'
39 will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and
40 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a
41 HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to
42 write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter
43 is a scalar or arrayref.
44 - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server
45 and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow.
47 5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20
48 - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release
49 - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity
51 - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other
52 small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++)
53 - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++)
54 - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++)
55 - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++)
56 - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++)
57 - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap
58 a development setup (ether++)
60 5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20
61 - Fixed loading middleware from project directory
62 - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION
63 - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT
64 alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst
65 handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but
66 for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test
69 5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26
70 - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via
71 a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware".
72 - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up
73 from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18.
76 - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test
77 suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040
78 - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion
79 error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone
81 - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly
83 - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin
87 - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider
88 this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope
89 this fixes all of them.
90 - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are
91 setting encoding type in an external configuration file
92 - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests
93 - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for
95 - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release.
98 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
99 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
100 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
101 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative
102 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
103 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
104 - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working
106 - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual
107 handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets.
108 - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t
109 - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a
110 action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently
111 the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain
113 - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting
114 $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using
115 the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so
116 you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config
117 setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking
118 people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to
119 you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone
120 plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading
122 - minor documentation typo fixes and updates
125 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
126 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
127 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
128 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
129 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
130 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
132 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
133 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
134 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
135 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
136 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
137 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
140 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
141 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
142 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
143 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
144 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
145 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
146 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
147 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
148 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
149 in behavior is compatible on its own.
150 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
151 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
152 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
153 - Some test and documentation improvements
155 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
156 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
157 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
158 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
161 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
162 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
165 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
166 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
168 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
169 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
171 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
173 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
174 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
176 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
178 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
179 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
180 of request or response classes.
182 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
183 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
184 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
185 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
186 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
187 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
188 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
189 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
190 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
191 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
193 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
194 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
195 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
196 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
197 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
199 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
201 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
202 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
204 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
206 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
207 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
208 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
211 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
214 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
217 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
218 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
220 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
223 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
226 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
228 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
230 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
232 Distribution META.yml changes:
233 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
234 mis-parses from the documentation.
235 - x_authority key added.
238 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
239 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
241 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
242 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
243 is less than helpful.
245 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
246 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
247 in bleadperl. RT#76437
249 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
250 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
253 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
254 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
256 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
257 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
258 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
260 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
263 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
264 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
265 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
266 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
267 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
268 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
270 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
272 - --background option for the server script now only closes
273 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
274 and other loggers which open a file handle when
275 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
276 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
277 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
280 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
283 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
284 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
285 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
286 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
288 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
291 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
294 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
295 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
296 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
297 included when not running from a checkout.
299 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
301 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
302 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
303 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
305 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
307 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
309 New features and refactoring:
310 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
311 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
312 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
314 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
315 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
316 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
319 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
320 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
321 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
323 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
325 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
326 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
327 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
328 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
329 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
330 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
332 Back compatibility fixes:
333 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
334 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
335 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
338 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
341 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
342 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
343 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
345 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
346 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
347 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
349 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
352 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
353 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
354 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
355 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
356 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
359 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
360 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
362 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
363 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
364 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
366 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
369 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
370 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
371 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
372 get them passed through to the application.
375 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
376 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
377 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
378 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
381 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
382 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
383 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
384 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
386 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
387 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
388 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
390 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
391 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
393 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
397 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
398 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
399 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
400 whereas before you had to say:
401 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
402 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
403 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
406 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
407 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
408 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
409 scripts in the application.
410 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
411 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
412 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
417 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
419 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
420 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
421 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
422 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
423 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
424 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
425 and provide an alternative.
427 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
431 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
434 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
437 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
439 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
440 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
441 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
442 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
443 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
444 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
448 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
449 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
451 Backward compatibility fixes:
453 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
454 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
458 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
459 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
461 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
463 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
465 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
466 Backward compatibility fixes:
468 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
469 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
471 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
475 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
476 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
477 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
479 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
481 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
482 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
484 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
488 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
490 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
492 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
494 Backward compatibility fixes:
496 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
498 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
499 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
500 for backward compatibility.
504 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
505 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
509 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
510 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
511 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
513 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
515 Backward compatibility fixes:
517 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
518 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
522 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
525 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
526 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
527 example) Coro is loaded.
529 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
530 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
532 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
533 using MooseX::Deamonize
535 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
536 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
537 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
538 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
539 deployed in these environments.
543 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
547 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
548 file for your application.
550 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
554 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
555 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
557 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
560 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
561 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
563 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
565 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
566 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
568 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
569 IO::Handle's behaviour.
571 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
572 was not breaking out correctly
574 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
575 to also work in the $c->component method.
577 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
578 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
579 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
581 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
583 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
585 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
587 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
588 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
591 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
593 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
596 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
600 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
601 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
602 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
604 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
607 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
609 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
610 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
611 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
613 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
616 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
617 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
618 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
619 the new major version of Catalyst.
622 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
623 of Catalyst has been much improved.
625 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
628 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
629 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
630 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
632 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
634 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
635 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
636 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
638 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
641 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
642 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
643 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
645 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
646 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
650 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
651 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
653 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
654 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
655 developers without changing their application code.
657 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
660 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
661 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
662 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
663 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
664 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
666 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
667 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
669 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
671 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
675 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
676 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
677 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
678 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
679 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
680 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
681 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
683 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
684 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
685 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
686 class, please tell us *now*.
688 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
691 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
693 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
694 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
695 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
696 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
697 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
698 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
701 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
702 the Content-Length header appropriately)
703 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
704 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
705 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
706 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
707 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
708 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
710 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
711 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
712 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
713 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
714 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
715 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
716 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
717 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
720 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
721 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
723 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
726 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
727 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
731 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
732 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
734 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
737 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
739 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
740 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
742 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
744 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
747 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
749 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
752 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
753 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
754 load Utils before MyApp.pm
756 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
759 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
761 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
762 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
763 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
764 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
765 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
767 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
770 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
771 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
772 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
775 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
776 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
781 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
784 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
787 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
788 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
789 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
790 the default action creation.
793 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
794 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
795 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
796 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
797 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
798 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
799 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
802 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
804 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
806 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
808 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
811 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
812 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
813 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
814 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
815 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
818 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
819 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
822 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
823 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
824 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
825 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
827 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
830 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
831 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
832 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
833 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
834 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
835 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
836 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
837 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
840 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
841 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
842 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
844 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
845 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
846 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
847 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
850 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
851 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
854 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
855 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
858 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
861 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
862 the content type and content length if available.
864 Refactoring / optimizations:
865 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
866 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
867 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
868 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
869 screen as easy to write.
870 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
871 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
872 in parameter filtering (for example).
873 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
874 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
875 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
876 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
877 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
880 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
881 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
882 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
883 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
885 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
888 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
889 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
891 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
894 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
895 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
897 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
900 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
901 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
902 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
903 which should not be encoded.
904 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
905 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
907 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
908 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
909 any set of args/captures.
911 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
912 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
914 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
918 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
920 - Various minor typo fixes.
923 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
925 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
928 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
929 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
930 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
933 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
934 - Clarify documentation about debug
937 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
938 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
939 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
941 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
944 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
945 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
949 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
950 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
952 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
953 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
954 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
955 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
956 argv key in the options hash.
957 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
958 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
959 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
960 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
962 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
966 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
967 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
968 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
969 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
970 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
972 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
976 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
977 encoding test controller.
979 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
981 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
982 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
983 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
984 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
986 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
987 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
988 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
989 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
990 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
992 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
996 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
997 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
998 less packed with information of no use.
1002 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
1004 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
1006 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
1007 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
1008 the single character '0'.
1009 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
1012 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
1013 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
1014 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
1016 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
1018 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
1019 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
1020 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
1021 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
1022 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
1023 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
1024 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
1025 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
1026 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
1027 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
1028 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
1029 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
1031 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
1032 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
1034 Refactoring / cleanups:
1035 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
1036 (and then skipped) normally.
1039 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
1041 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
1044 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
1045 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
1046 on the old behaviour.
1048 Refactoring / cleanups:
1049 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
1050 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
1052 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
1055 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
1056 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
1057 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
1058 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
1059 as there is no recommended alternative.
1060 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
1061 fallback for fully qualified component names.
1062 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
1063 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
1064 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
1065 startup, rather than with the first hit.
1066 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
1067 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
1068 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
1069 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
1070 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
1071 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
1072 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
1073 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
1076 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
1077 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
1078 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
1079 deprecated and causes warnings).
1080 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
1081 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
1082 in the correct order.
1083 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
1085 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
1086 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
1087 is deprecated (RT#51489)
1090 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
1091 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
1092 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
1093 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
1094 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
1096 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
1097 exception classes need to implement.
1098 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
1099 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
1102 Refactoring / cleanups:
1103 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
1104 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
1105 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
1106 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
1107 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
1108 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
1109 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
1111 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
1114 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1115 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1116 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1117 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1119 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1120 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1121 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1124 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1125 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1128 Refactoring / cleanups:
1129 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1130 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1131 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1132 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1133 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1135 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1138 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1139 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1140 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1141 now loaded at most once + tests.
1142 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1143 is returned to 'actions'.
1144 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1145 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1147 Refactoring / cleanups:
1148 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1149 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1152 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1153 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1154 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1156 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1159 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1160 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1163 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1166 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1167 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1168 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1170 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1173 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1174 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1175 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1177 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1180 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1181 application class immutable without that option.
1182 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1183 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1185 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1186 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1187 (hopefully) future versions.
1188 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1189 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1190 variables (RT#48555)
1191 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1193 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1194 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1195 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1196 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1197 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1199 Refactoring / cleanups:
1200 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1201 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1202 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1203 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1204 known issues with 5.8.3.
1205 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1206 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1209 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1210 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1211 for the controller namespace
1212 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1213 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1214 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1215 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1216 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1217 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1219 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1220 frontend port (jshirley)
1221 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1225 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1226 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.

1236 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1238 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1239 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1240 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1241 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1242 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1243 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1247 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1248 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1249 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1252 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1255 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1256 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1258 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1259 in some environments.
1260 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1261 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1262 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1263 except works correctly with closures.

1265 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1266 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1267 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1268 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1269 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1270 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1273 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1274 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1275 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1276 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1277 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1278 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1280 Refactoring / cleanups:
1281 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1282 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1283 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1284 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1286 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1287 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1288 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1290 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1291 again in Catalyst::Test
1293 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

1304 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1305 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1307 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1310 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1311 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1314 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1315 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1319 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1320 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1321 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1322 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1323 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1325 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1326 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1327 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1328 controller naming. (random)

1339 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1341 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1342 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1343 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1344 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1345 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1346 to report 'Unknown Error'
1347 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1348 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1349 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1350 parse_on_demand is on
1352 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1353 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1354 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1355 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1365 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1366 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1367 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1368 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1369 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1382 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1383 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1385 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1386 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1387 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1388 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1389 configuration in your application.
1391 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1392 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1420 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1422 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1423 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1424 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1425 tries to chain to itself
1427 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1428 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1429 - Tests for this (radek)
1430 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1431 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1432 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1433 - Tests for this (radek)

1444 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1445 in production versions
1446 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1447 the correct metaclass
1448 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1449 the restarter process
1450 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1451 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1453 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1454 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1455 immutable restart correctly.
1457 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1458 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1470 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1471 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1472 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1474 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1475 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1476 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1477 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1479 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1480 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

1514 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1515 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1516 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1518 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1519 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1520 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1528 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
1529 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
1530 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
1531 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1532 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors
1533 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
1534 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
1535 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
1536 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
1537 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
1539 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
1540 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1542 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1543 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1544 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1546 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1547 test sync for engines easier
1548 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
1549 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other

1558 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
1560 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
1561 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
1562 die, as it didn't in 5.70

1565 to force new version which fixes a lot of plugins
1566 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
1567 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1568 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1569 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1570 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1572 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
1573 the key from the instance hash
1574 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace

1690 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
1691 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
1692 throw warnings for two reasons:
1693 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1694 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
1696 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
1697 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
1698 method with a regex as the argument
1699 - remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)

1705 an undef value (RT #34782)
1706 - Added $c->go, to do an internal redispatch to another action, while retaining the
1707 contents of the stash
