# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+5.90079.06 - 2015-01-02
+ - Removed unneeded depdency on RenderView in new test case that was causing fails
+ on CPAN testers that did not just happen to have that dependency already installed
+ - Updated copyright notices to 2015
+ - Documentation patches around the setup methods and clarification on on security
+ note posted a few months ago.
+ - Added my name to the contributors list
+
+5.90079_005 - 2014-12-31
+ - Merged changes from 5.90078
+ - If configuration 'using_frontend_proxy' is set, we add the correct middleware
+ to the default middleware list. This way you get the correct and expected
+ behavior if you are starting your application via one of the generated scripts
+ or if you are calling MyApp->psgi_app. Previously if you started the application
+ with ->psgi_app (or to_app) we ignored this configuration option
+ - New configuration option 'using_frontend_proxy_path' which enables
+ Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath on your application easily. Please note that
+ Plack::Middleware::ReverseProxyPath is not an automatic dependency of Catalyst at
+ this time, so if you want this feature you should add it to your project dependency
+ list. This is done to avoid continued growth of Catalyst dependencies.
+ - Tweaks encoding docs a bit to get closer to final.
+
+5.90079_004 - 2014-12-26
+ - Starting adding some docs around the new encoding stuff
+ - Exposed the reqexp we use to match content types that need encoding via a
+ global variable.
+ - Added some test cases for JSON utf8 and tested file uploads with utf8.
+ - Fixes to decoding on file upload filenames and related methods
+ - new methods on upload object that tries to do the right thing if we find
+ a character set on the upload and its UTF8.
+ - new additional helper methods on the file upload object.
+ - new helper methods has_encoding and clear_encoding on context.
+ - Method on Catalyst::Response to determine if the reponse should be encoded.
+ - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
+ has allready been called (and headers already sent).
+ - Centralized rules about detecting if we need to automatically encode or not and
+ added tests around cases when you choose to skip auto encoding.
+
+5.90079_003 - 2014-12-03
+ - Make sure all tests run even if debug mode is enabled.
+ - Fixed issue with middleware stash test case that failed on older Perls
+
+5.90079_002 - 2014-12-02
+ - Fixed typo in Makefile.PL which borked the previous distribution. No other
+ changes.
+
+5.90079_001 - 2014-12-02
+ - MyApp->to_app is now an alias for MyApp->psgi_app in order to better support
+ existing Plack conventions.
+ - Modify Catayst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
+ be an object that does ->as_psgi.
+ - Modified Catayst::Middleware::Stash to be a shallow copy in $env. Added some
+ docs. Added a test case to make sure stash keys added in a child application
+ don't bubble back up to the main application.
+ - We no longer use Encode::is_utf8 since it doesn't work the way we think it
+ does... This required some UTF-8 changes. If your application is UTF-8 aware
+ I highly suggest you test this release.
+ - We alway do utf8 decoding on incoming URLs (before we only did so if the server
+ encoding was utf8. I believe this is correct as per the w3c spec, but please
+ correct if incorrect :)
+ - Debug output now shows utf8 characters if those are incoming via Args or as
+ path or pathparts in your actions. query and body parameter keys are now also
+ subject to utf8 decoding (or as specificed via the encoding configuration value).
+ - lots of UTF8 changes. Again we think this is now more correct but please test.
+ - Allow $c->res->redirect($url) to accept $url as an object that does ->as_string
+ which I think will ease a common case (and common bug) and added documentation.
+ - !!! UTF-8 is now the default encoding (there used to be none...). You can disable
+ this if you need to with MyApp->config(encoding => undef) if it causes you trouble.
+ - Calling $c->res->write($data) now encodes $data based on the configured encoding
+ (UTF-8 is default).
+ - $c->res->writer_fh now returns Catalyst::Response::Writer which is a decorator
+ over the PSGI writer and provides an additional methd 'write_encoded' that just
+ does the right thing for encoding your responses. This is probably the method
+ you want to use.
+ - New dispatch matching attribute: Scheme. This lets you match a route based on
+ the incoming URI scheme (http, https, ws, wss).
+ - If $c->uri_for targets an action or action chain that defines Scheme, use that
+ scheme for the generated URI object instead of just using whatever the incoming
+ request uses.
+
+5.90078 - 2014-12-30
+ - POD corrections (sergey++)
+ - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthru feature
+ introduced in 5.90060. You can use this if that feature is causing you
+ trouble. (davewood++);
+ - Some additional helper methods for dealing with errors.
+ - More clear exception when $request->body_data tries to parse malformed POSTed
+ data. Added documentation and tests around this.
+
+5.90077 - 2014-11-18
+ - We store the PSGI $env in Catalyst::Engine for backcompat reasons. Changed
+ this so that the storage is a weak reference, so that it goes out of scope
+ with the request. This solves an issue where items in the stash (now in the
+ PSGI env) would not get closed at the end of the request. This caused some
+ regression, primarily in custom testing classes.
+
+5.90076 - 2014-11-13
+ - If throwing an exception object that does the code method, make sure that
+ method returns an expected HTTP status code before passing it on to the
+ HTTP Exception middleware.
+
+5.90075 - 2014-10-06
+ - Documentation patch for $c->req->param to point out the recently discovered
+ potential security issues: http://blog.gerv.net/2014/10/new-class-of-vulnerability-in-perl-web-applications/
+ - You don't need to install this update, but you should read about the exploit
+ and review if your code is vulnerable. If you use the $c->req->param interface
+ you really need to review this exploit.
+
+5.90074 - 2014-10-01
+ - Specify Carp minimum version to avoid pointless test fails (valy++)
+
+5.90073 - 2014-09-23
+ - Fixed a regression caused by the last release where we broke what happened
+ when you tried to set request parameters via $c->req->param('foo', 'bar').
+ You shouldn't do this, but I guess I shouldn't have busted it either :)
+ - Allow the term_width to be regenerated (see Catalyst::Utils::term_width,
+ Frew Schmidt)
+ - More aggressive skipping of value decoding if the value is undefined.
+
+5.90072 - 2014-09-15
+ - In the case where you call $c->req->param(undef), warn with a more useful
+ warning (now gives the line of your code that called param with the undef,
+ so you can go to hunt it out.
+
+5.90071 - 2014-08-10
+ - Travis config now performs basic reverse dependency testing.
+ - Restored deprecated 'env' code in Engine.pm b/c it is still being used out
+ in the wild (Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10023) - (removed in 5.90070)
+ - Reverted changes to debug log/handling (5.90069_003) to fix
+ rev dep Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple-0.32 test suite.
+ - Added italian translation of default error.
+
+5.90070 - 2014-08-07
+ - Retagged previous release as stable; no changes
+
+5.90069_004
+ - Fixed typo in middleware stash that was causing older Perls to fail
+ certain tests. No other changes.
+
+5.90069_003
+ - The default log level is now 'info', not 'debug'.
+ - Finished merging all the encoding plugin code to core code. The encoding
+ plugin is now just an empty package. Also tried to improve encoding docs
+ a bit.
+ - Some additional changes to the stash middleware that should not break
+ anything new.
+ - Documentation around using Sendfile type http headers with a filehandle
+ type response.
+ - Merged from master branch to pick up some additional fixes and documentation
+ improvements.
+
5.90069_002
+ - Catalyst stash functionality has been moved to Middleware. It should
+ work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report
+ questions or problems!
+ - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone
+ PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken.
+ Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work
+ under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years.
+ - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true. If this behavior
+ causes you issues, you can explicitly turn it off by setting it to a
+ non true defined value (0 is a good option here).
- When throwing an http style exception, make sure we properly flush the
existing log and report other errors in the error stack.
5.90069_001
+ - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
+ - documentation and test fixes
+
+5.90065 - 2014-06-04
- The Catalyst::Log object now has 'autoflush' (which defaults to true) and
causes log messages to be written out in real-time. This is helpful for the
test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before
the end of the request when the log is flushed.
- - Set encoding on STDERR when encoding is set in config
- Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD
- Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361
- Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358
