1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
8 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
9 the Content-Length header appropriately)
10 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
11 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
12 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
13 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
14 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
15 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
19 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
20 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
22 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
25 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
26 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
30 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
31 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
33 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
36 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
38 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
39 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
41 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
43 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
46 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
48 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
51 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
52 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
53 load Utils before MyApp.pm
55 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
58 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
60 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
61 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
62 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
63 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
64 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
66 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
69 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
70 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
71 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
74 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
75 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
80 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
83 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
86 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
87 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
88 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
89 the default action creation.
92 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
93 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
94 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
95 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
96 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
97 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
98 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
101 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
103 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
105 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
107 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
110 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
111 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
112 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
113 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
114 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
117 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
118 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
121 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
122 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
123 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
124 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
126 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
129 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
130 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
131 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
132 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
133 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
134 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
135 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
136 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
139 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
140 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
141 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
143 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
144 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
145 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
146 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
149 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
150 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
153 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
154 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
157 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
160 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
161 the content type and content length if available.
163 Refactoring / optimizations:
164 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
165 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
166 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
167 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
168 screen as easy to write.
169 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
170 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
171 in parameter filtering (for example).
172 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
173 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
174 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
175 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
176 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
179 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
180 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
181 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
182 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
184 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
187 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
188 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
190 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
193 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
194 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
196 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
199 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
200 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
201 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
202 which should not be encoded.
203 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
204 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
206 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
207 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
208 any set of args/captures.
210 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
211 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
213 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
217 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
219 - Various minor typo fixes.
222 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
224 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
227 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
228 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
229 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
232 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
233 - Clarify documentation about debug
236 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
237 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
238 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
240 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
243 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
244 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
248 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
249 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
251 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
252 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
253 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
254 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
255 argv key in the options hash.
256 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
257 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
258 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
259 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
261 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
265 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
266 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
267 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
268 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
269 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
271 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
275 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
276 encoding test controller.
278 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
280 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
281 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
282 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
283 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
285 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
286 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
287 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
288 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
289 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
291 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
295 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
296 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
297 less packed with information of no use.
301 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
303 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
305 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
306 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
307 the single character '0'.
308 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
311 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
312 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
313 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
315 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
317 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
318 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
319 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
320 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
321 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
322 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
323 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
324 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
325 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
326 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
327 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
328 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
330 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
331 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
333 Refactoring / cleanups:
334 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
335 (and then skipped) normally.
338 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
340 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
343 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
344 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
345 on the old behaviour.
347 Refactoring / cleanups:
348 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
349 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
351 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
354 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
355 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
356 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
357 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
358 as there is no recommended alternative.
359 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
360 fallback for fully qualified component names.
361 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
362 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
363 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
364 startup, rather than with the first hit.
365 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
366 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
367 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
368 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
369 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
370 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
371 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
372 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
375 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
376 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
377 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
378 deprecated and causes warnings).
379 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
380 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
381 in the correct order.
382 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
384 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
385 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
386 is deprecated (RT#51489)
389 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
390 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
391 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
392 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
393 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
395 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
396 exception classes need to implement.
397 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
398 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
401 Refactoring / cleanups:
402 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
403 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
404 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
405 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
406 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
407 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
408 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
410 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
413 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
414 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
415 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
416 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
418 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
419 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
420 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
423 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
424 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
427 Refactoring / cleanups:
428 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
429 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
430 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
431 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
432 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
434 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
437 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
438 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
439 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
440 now loaded at most once + tests.
441 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
442 is returned to 'actions'.
443 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
444 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
446 Refactoring / cleanups:
447 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
448 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
451 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
452 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
453 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
455 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
458 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
459 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
462 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
465 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
466 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
467 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
469 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
472 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
473 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
474 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
476 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
479 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
480 application class immutable without that option.
481 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
482 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
484 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
485 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
486 (hopefully) future versions.
487 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
488 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
490 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
492 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
493 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
494 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
495 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
496 Request-URI of the Request-Line
498 Refactoring / cleanups:
499 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
500 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
501 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
502 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
503 known issues with 5.8.3.
504 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
505 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
508 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
509 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
510 for the controller namespace
511 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
512 expand_component_module (rjbs)
513 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
514 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
515 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
516 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
518 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
519 frontend port (jshirley)
520 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
524 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
525 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
526 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
527 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
530 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
533 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
534 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
535 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
537 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
538 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
539 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
540 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
541 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
542 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
546 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
547 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
548 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
551 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
554 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
555 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
557 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
558 in some environments.
559 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
560 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
561 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
562 except works correctly with closures.
563 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
564 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
565 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
567 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
568 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
569 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
572 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
573 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
574 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
575 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
576 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
577 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
579 Refactoring / cleanups:
580 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
581 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
582 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
583 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
585 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
586 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
587 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
589 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
590 again in Catalyst::Test
592 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
595 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
596 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
599 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
602 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
603 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
604 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
606 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
609 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
610 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
613 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
614 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
618 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
619 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
620 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.

691 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
692 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

722 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
723 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
724 tries to chain to itself
726 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
727 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
728 - Tests for this (radek)

748 the restarter process
749 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
750 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
752 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
753 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
754 immutable restart correctly.
756 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
757 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

773 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
774 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
775 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
776 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate

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

818 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
819 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

857 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
859 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
860 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

866 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
867 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler

1040 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1041 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
