4 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
5 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
8 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
10 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
12 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
14 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
17 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
18 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
19 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
20 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
21 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
24 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
25 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
28 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
29 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
30 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
33 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
36 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
37 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
38 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
39 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
40 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
41 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
42 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
43 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
46 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
47 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
48 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
50 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
51 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
52 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
53 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
56 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
57 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
60 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
61 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
64 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
67 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
68 the content type and content length if available.
70 Refactoring / optimizations:
71 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
72 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
73 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
74 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
75 screen as easy to write.
76 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
77 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
78 in parameter filtering (for example).
79 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
80 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
81 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
82 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
83 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
86 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
87 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
88 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
89 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
91 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
94 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
95 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
97 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
100 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
101 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
103 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
106 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
107 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
108 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
109 which should not be encoded.
110 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
111 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
113 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
114 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
115 any set of args/captures.
117 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
118 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
120 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
124 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
126 - Various minor typo fixes.
129 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
131 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
134 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
135 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
136 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
139 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
140 - Clarify documentation about debug
143 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
144 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
145 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
147 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
150 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
151 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
155 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
156 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
158 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
159 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
160 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
161 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
162 argv key in the options hash.
163 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
164 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
165 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
166 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
168 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
172 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
173 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
174 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
175 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
176 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
178 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
182 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
183 encoding test controller.
185 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
187 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
188 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
189 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
190 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
192 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
193 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
194 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
195 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
196 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
198 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
202 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
203 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
204 less packed with information of no use.
208 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
210 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
212 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
213 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
214 the single character '0'.
215 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
218 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
219 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
220 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
222 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
224 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
225 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
226 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
227 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
228 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
229 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
230 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
231 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
232 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
233 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
234 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
235 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
237 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
238 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
240 Refactoring / cleanups:
241 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
242 (and then skipped) normally.
245 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
247 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
250 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
251 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
252 on the old behaviour.
254 Refactoring / cleanups:
255 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
256 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
258 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
261 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
262 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
263 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
264 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
265 as there is no recommended alternative.
266 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
267 fallback for fully qualified component names.
268 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
269 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
270 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
271 startup, rather than with the first hit.
272 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
273 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
274 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
275 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
276 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
277 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
278 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
279 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
282 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
283 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
284 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
285 deprecated and causes warnings).
286 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
287 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
288 in the correct order.
289 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
291 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
292 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
293 is deprecated (RT#51489)
296 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
297 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
298 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
299 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
300 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
302 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
303 exception classes need to implement.
304 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
305 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
308 Refactoring / cleanups:
309 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
310 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
311 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
312 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
313 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
314 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
315 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
317 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
320 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
321 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
322 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
323 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
325 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
326 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
327 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
330 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
331 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
334 Refactoring / cleanups:
335 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
336 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
337 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
338 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
339 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
341 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
344 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
345 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
346 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
347 now loaded at most once + tests.
348 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
349 is returned to 'actions'.
350 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
351 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
353 Refactoring / cleanups:
354 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
355 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
358 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
359 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
360 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
362 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
365 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
366 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
369 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
372 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
373 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
374 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
376 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
379 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
380 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
381 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
383 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
386 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
387 application class immutable without that option.
388 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
389 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
391 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
392 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
393 (hopefully) future versions.
394 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
395 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
397 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
399 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
400 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
401 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
402 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
403 Request-URI of the Request-Line
405 Refactoring / cleanups:
406 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
407 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
408 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
409 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
410 known issues with 5.8.3.
411 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
412 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
415 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
416 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
417 for the controller namespace
418 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
419 expand_component_module (rjbs)
420 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
421 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
422 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
423 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
425 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
426 frontend port (jshirley)
427 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
431 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
432 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
433 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
434 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
437 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
440 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
441 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
442 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
444 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
445 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
446 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
447 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
448 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
449 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
453 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
454 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
455 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
458 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
461 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
462 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
464 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
465 in some environments.
466 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
467 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
468 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
469 except works correctly with closures.
470 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
471 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
472 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
474 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
475 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
476 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
479 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
480 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
481 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
482 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
483 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
484 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
486 Refactoring / cleanups:
487 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
488 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
489 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
490 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
492 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
493 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
494 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
496 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
497 again in Catalyst::Test
499 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
502 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
503 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
506 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
509 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
510 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
511 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
513 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
516 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
517 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
520 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
521 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
525 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
526 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
527 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
528 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
529 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
531 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
532 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
533 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
534 controller naming. (random)
535 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
536 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
537 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
538 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
539 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
541 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
543 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
544 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
545 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
547 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
548 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
549 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
550 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
551 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
552 to report 'Unknown Error'
553 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
554 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
555 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
556 parse_on_demand is on
558 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
559 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
560 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
561 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
562 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
563 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
564 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
565 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
566 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
568 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
569 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
570 Test::Aggregate is available.
571 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
572 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
573 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
574 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
575 disabling functionality from base controllers.
576 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
577 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
578 incompatibility issues in some cases.
579 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
580 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
581 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
582 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
583 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
584 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
585 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
586 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
587 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
588 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
589 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
591 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
592 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables

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

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

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