4 - Yet another fix to the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which
5 was resulting in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
6 When you were in a directory in your checkout below the root
8 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
11 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
14 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
15 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
16 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
17 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
19 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
22 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
25 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
26 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
27 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
28 included when not running from a checkout.
30 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
32 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
33 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
34 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
36 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
38 New features and refactoring:
39 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
40 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
41 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
43 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
44 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
45 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
48 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
49 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
50 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
52 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
54 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
55 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
56 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
57 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
58 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
59 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
61 Back compatibility fixes:
62 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
63 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
64 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
67 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
70 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
71 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
72 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
74 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
75 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
76 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
78 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
81 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
82 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
83 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
84 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
85 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
88 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
89 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
91 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
92 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
93 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
95 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
98 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
99 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
100 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
101 get them passed through to the application.
104 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
105 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
106 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
107 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
110 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
111 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
112 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
113 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
115 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
116 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
117 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
119 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
120 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
122 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
126 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
127 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
128 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
129 whereas before you had to say:
130 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
131 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
132 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
135 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
136 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
137 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
138 scripts in the application.
139 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
140 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
141 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
146 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
148 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
149 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
150 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
151 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
152 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
153 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
154 and provide an alternative.
156 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
160 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
163 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
166 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
168 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
169 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
170 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
171 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
172 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
173 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
177 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
178 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
180 Backward compatibility fixes:
182 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
183 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
187 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
188 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
190 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
192 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
194 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
195 Backward compatibility fixes:
197 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
198 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
200 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
204 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
205 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
206 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
208 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
210 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
211 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
213 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
217 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
219 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
221 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
223 Backward compatibility fixes:
225 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
227 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
228 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
229 for backward compatibility.
233 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
234 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
238 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
239 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
240 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
242 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
244 Backward compatibility fixes:
246 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
247 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
251 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
254 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
255 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
256 example) Coro is loaded.
258 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
259 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
261 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
262 using MooseX::Deamonize
264 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
265 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
266 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
267 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
268 deployed in these environments.
272 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
276 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
277 file for your application.
279 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
283 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
284 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
286 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
289 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
290 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
292 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
294 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
295 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
297 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
298 IO::Handle's behaviour.
300 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
301 was not breaking out correctly
303 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
304 to also work in the $c->component method.
306 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
307 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
308 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
310 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
312 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
314 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
316 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
317 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
320 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
322 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
325 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
329 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
330 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
331 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
333 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
336 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
338 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
339 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
340 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
342 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
345 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
346 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
347 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
348 the new major version of Catalyst.
351 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
352 of Catalyst has been much improved.
354 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
357 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
358 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
359 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
361 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
363 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
364 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
365 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
367 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
370 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
371 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
372 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
374 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
375 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
379 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
380 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
382 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
383 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
384 developers without changing their application code.
386 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
389 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
390 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
391 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
392 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
393 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
395 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
396 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
398 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
400 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
404 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
405 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
406 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
407 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
408 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
409 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
410 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
412 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
413 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
414 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
415 class, please tell us *now*.
417 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
420 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
422 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
423 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
424 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
425 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
426 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
427 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
430 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
431 the Content-Length header appropriately)
432 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
433 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
434 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
435 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
436 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
437 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
439 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
440 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
441 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
442 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
443 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
444 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
445 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
446 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
449 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
450 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
452 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
455 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
456 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
460 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
461 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
463 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
466 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
468 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
469 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
471 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
473 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
476 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
478 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
481 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
482 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
483 load Utils before MyApp.pm
485 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
488 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
490 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
491 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
492 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
493 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
494 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
496 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
499 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
500 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
501 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
504 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
505 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
510 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
513 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
516 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
517 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
518 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
519 the default action creation.
522 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
523 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
524 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
525 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
526 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
527 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
528 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
531 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
533 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
535 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
537 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
540 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
541 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
542 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
543 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
544 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
547 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
548 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
551 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
552 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
553 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
554 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
556 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
559 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
560 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
561 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
562 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
563 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
564 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
565 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
566 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
569 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
570 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
571 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
573 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
574 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
575 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
576 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
579 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
580 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
583 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
584 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
587 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
590 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
591 the content type and content length if available.
593 Refactoring / optimizations:
594 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
595 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
596 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
597 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
598 screen as easy to write.
599 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
600 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
601 in parameter filtering (for example).
602 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
603 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
604 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
605 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
606 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
609 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
610 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
611 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
612 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
614 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
617 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
618 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
620 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
623 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
624 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
626 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
629 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
630 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
631 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
632 which should not be encoded.
633 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
634 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
636 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
637 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
638 any set of args/captures.
640 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
641 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
643 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
647 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
649 - Various minor typo fixes.
652 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
654 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
657 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
658 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
659 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
662 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
663 - Clarify documentation about debug
666 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
667 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
668 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
670 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
673 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
674 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
678 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
679 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
681 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
682 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
683 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
684 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
685 argv key in the options hash.
686 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
687 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
688 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
689 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
691 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
695 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
696 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
697 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
698 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
699 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
701 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
705 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
706 encoding test controller.
708 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
710 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
711 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
712 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
713 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
715 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
716 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
717 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
718 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
719 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
721 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
725 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
726 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
727 less packed with information of no use.
731 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
733 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
735 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
736 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
737 the single character '0'.
738 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
741 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
742 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
743 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
745 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
747 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
748 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
749 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
750 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
751 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
752 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
753 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
754 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
755 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
756 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
757 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
758 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
760 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
761 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
763 Refactoring / cleanups:
764 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
765 (and then skipped) normally.
768 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
770 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
773 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
774 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
775 on the old behaviour.
777 Refactoring / cleanups:
778 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
779 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
781 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
784 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
785 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
786 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
787 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
788 as there is no recommended alternative.
789 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
790 fallback for fully qualified component names.
791 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
792 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
793 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
794 startup, rather than with the first hit.
795 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
796 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
797 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
798 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
799 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
800 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
801 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
802 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
805 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
806 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
807 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
808 deprecated and causes warnings).
809 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
810 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
811 in the correct order.
812 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
814 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
815 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
816 is deprecated (RT#51489)
819 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
820 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
821 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
822 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
823 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
825 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
826 exception classes need to implement.
827 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
828 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
831 Refactoring / cleanups:
832 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
833 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
834 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
835 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
836 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
837 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
838 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
840 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
843 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
844 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
845 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
846 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
848 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
849 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
850 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
853 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
854 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
857 Refactoring / cleanups:
858 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
859 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
860 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
861 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
862 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
864 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
867 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
868 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
869 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
870 now loaded at most once + tests.
871 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
872 is returned to 'actions'.
873 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
874 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
876 Refactoring / cleanups:
877 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
878 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
881 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
882 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
883 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
885 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
888 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
889 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
892 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
895 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
896 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
897 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
899 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
902 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
903 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
904 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
906 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
909 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
910 application class immutable without that option.
911 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
912 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
914 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
915 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
916 (hopefully) future versions.
917 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
918 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
920 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
922 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
923 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
924 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
925 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
926 Request-URI of the Request-Line
928 Refactoring / cleanups:
929 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
930 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
931 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
932 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
933 known issues with 5.8.3.
934 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
935 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
938 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
939 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
940 for the controller namespace
941 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
942 expand_component_module (rjbs)
943 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
944 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
945 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
946 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
948 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
949 frontend port (jshirley)
950 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
954 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
955 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
956 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
957 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
960 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
963 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
964 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
965 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
967 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
968 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
969 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
970 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
971 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
972 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
976 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
977 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
978 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
981 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
984 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
985 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
987 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
988 in some environments.
989 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
990 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
991 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
992 except works correctly with closures.
993 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
994 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
995 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
997 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
998 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
999 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1002 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1003 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1004 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1005 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1006 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1007 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1009 Refactoring / cleanups:
1010 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1011 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1012 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1013 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1015 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1016 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1017 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1019 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1020 again in Catalyst::Test
1022 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1025 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1026 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1029 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1032 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1033 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1034 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1036 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1039 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1040 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1043 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1044 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1048 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1049 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1050 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1051 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1052 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1054 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1055 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1056 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1057 controller naming. (random)
1058 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1059 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1060 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1061 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1062 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1064 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1066 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1067 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1068 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1070 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1071 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1072 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1073 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1074 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1075 to report 'Unknown Error'
1076 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1077 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1078 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1079 parse_on_demand is on
1081 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1082 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1083 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1084 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1085 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1086 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
1087 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
1088 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1089 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1091 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1092 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1093 Test::Aggregate is available.
1094 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1095 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1096 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1097 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1098 disabling functionality from base controllers.
1099 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
1100 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
1101 incompatibility issues in some cases.
1102 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
1103 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
1104 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
1105 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
1106 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
1107 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
1108 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
1109 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1110 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1111 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1112 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1114 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1115 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1116 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1117 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1118 configuration in your application.
1120 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1121 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1122 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
1124 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
1125 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
1127 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
1128 has been made private
1129 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
1130 the request parameters with undef + test
1131 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
1132 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
1134 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
1136 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
1137 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
1138 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
1140 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
1141 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
1142 warning on recent Moose versions.
1143 - Add delta documentation
1144 - Clean up recursion errors
1145 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
1146 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1148 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1149 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1151 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1152 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1153 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1154 tries to chain to itself
1156 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1157 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1158 - Tests for this (radek)
1159 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1160 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1161 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1162 - Tests for this (radek)
1163 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1164 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1165 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1166 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1168 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1169 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1171 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1173 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1174 in production versions
1175 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1176 the correct metaclass
1177 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1178 the restarter process
1179 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1180 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1182 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1183 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1184 immutable restart correctly.
1186 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1187 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
1188 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
1189 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
1190 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test
1191 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment
1192 - Remove useless column in chained action debug table.
1193 - namespace::clean related cleanups
1194 - Import related cleanups and consistency fixes
1195 - Fix test suite TestApp /dump/env action
1196 - Add $res->code as alias for $res->status
1197 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
1198 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP.
1199 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1200 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1201 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1202 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1203 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1204 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1205 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1206 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1208 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1209 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1210 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1213 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
1214 - Add uri_with tests
1216 5.8000_06 2009-02-04 21:00
1217 - Disallow writing to config after setup
1218 - Disallow calling setup more than once
1219 - Documentation fix regarding overloading of Engine and Dispatcher
1221 - Several documentation typo fixes
1222 - Stop Makefile.PL from warning about versions that fixed a conflict
