# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+ Fixed extensions:
+
+ - A number of modules have been updated to pass their tests or not
+ produce deprecation warnings with the latest version of Catalyst.
+
+ These are:
+
+ Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst - has been updated to not produce
+ deprecation warnings.
+
+ Catalyst::ActionRole::ACL - has been updated to fix failing tests
+ (although older versions still function perfectly with this
+ version of Catalyst).
+
+ Catalyst::Plugin::Session::Store::DBIC - has been updated to fix
+ failing tests (although older versions still function perfectly
+ with this version of Catalyst).
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
+
+ - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
+ This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
+ for backward compatibility.
+
+ Documentation:
+
+ - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
+ has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
+
+ Changes:
+
+ - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
+ web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
+ documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
+
+5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
+ Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
+ been made immutable.
+
+ - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
+ on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
+ example) Coro is loaded.
+
+ - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
+ the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
+
+ - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
+ using MooseX::Deamonize
+
+ - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
+ automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
+ (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
+ This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
+ deployed in these environments.
+
+ Enhancements:
+
+ - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
+ the remote request.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
+ file for your application.
+
+ - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
+ engines clarified.
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
+ use the normal request function against a local server instead.
+
+5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
+ populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
+
+ - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
+
+ - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
+ ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
+
+ - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
+ IO::Handle's behaviour.
+
+ - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
+ was not breaking out correctly
+
+ - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
+ to also work in the $c->component method.
+
+ - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
+ output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
+ as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
+ mode.
+ - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
+
+ - Change repository metadata to point at git.
+
+ - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
+
+ - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
+ test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
+ names.
+
+ - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
+
+5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
+ not being installed.
+
+ Refactoring:
+ - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
+ Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
+ Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
+
+5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
+
+ - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
+ Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
+ any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
+
+ - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
+
+ Known problems:
+ - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
+ are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
+ be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
+ the new major version of Catalyst.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
+ of Catalyst has been much improved.
+
+5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
+ $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
+ to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
+ returning true.
+ Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
+
+ - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
+ not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
+ the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
+
+ - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
+ in Catalyst::execute
+
+ - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
+ of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
+ PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
+
+ This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
+ type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
+ (e.g. /account/*)
+
+ New features:
+ - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
+ allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
+
+ This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
+ be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
+ developers without changing their application code.
+
+5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
+ a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
+ is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
+ which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
+ version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
+
+ - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
+ body (e.g. doing a redirect)
+
+5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
+
+ This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
+
+ Removed features:
+
+ - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
+ one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
+ the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
+ through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
+ Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
+ on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
+ catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
+
+ If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
+ anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
+ classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
+ class, please tell us *now*.
+
+5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
+
+ New features:
+ - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
+ title.
+ - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
+ absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
+ all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
+ things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
+ bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
+ have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
+ the Content-Length header appropriately)
+ - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
+ with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
+ maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
+ a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
+ to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
+ if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
+ failing case.
+ - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
+ versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
+ available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
+ version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
+ with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
+ Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
+ work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
+ Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
+ with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
+
+5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
+
+ New features:
+ - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
+ or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
+ confused.
+
+ Warning fixes:
+ - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
+ class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
+
+5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
+
+ - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
+ the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
+
+ - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
+
+5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
+
+5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
+ not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
+ load Utils before MyApp.pm
+
+ - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
+ application
+
+ - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
+
+ - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
+ A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
+ to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
+ debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
+ by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
+
+ - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
+ mode (RT#59738)
+
+ - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
+ in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
+ Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
+
+ Refactoring:
+ - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
+ locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix some typos
+
+ - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
+
+
+5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
+
New features:
- An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
allow controller base classes, roles or traits
Bug fixes:
- Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
+ - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
+ are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
+ - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
+ - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
+ - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
Documentation:
- Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
