# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
- - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp
- - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
+ Bug fixes:
+ - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
+ is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
+ lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
+ included when not running from a checkout.
+
+ - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
+
+5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
+
+ New features and refactoring:
+ - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
+ and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
+ servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
+
+ This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
+ for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
+ (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
+ is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
+ as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
+
+ Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
+
+ - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
+ not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
+ an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
+ and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
+ for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
+ on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
+
+ Back compatibility fixes:
+ - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
+ $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
+ accessing the raw PSGI environment.
+
+ Tests:
+ - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
+ documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
+ was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
+
+ - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
+ documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
+ in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
+
+5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
+
+ New features:
+ - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
+ is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
+ true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
+ This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
+ conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
+ < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
+ over that.
+ - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
+ bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
+ Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
+
+5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
+
+ New features:
+ - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
+ This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
+ application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
+ get them passed through to the application.
+
+ Doumentation:
+ - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
+ proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
+ enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
+ Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
+ other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
+ meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
+ context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
+ a value.
+ This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
+ both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
+ '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
+
+ - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
+ in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
+
+5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
+
+ New features:
+
+ - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
+ If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
+ $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
+ whereas before you had to say:
+ $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
+ The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
+ easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
+ the two.
+
+ - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
+ load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
+ - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
+ scripts in the application.
+ - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
+ (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
+ MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
+ otherwise).
+
+ Documentation:
+
+ - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
+ to avoid confusion
+ - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
+ as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
+ - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
+ - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
+ - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
+ - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
+ and provide an alternative.
+
+5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
+ MyApp->engine_class.
+
+5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
+
+ - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
+ in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
+ attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
+ with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
+ would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
+ whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
+
+ Enhancements:
+
+ - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
+ body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
+
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
+ scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
+
+ Documentation fixes:
+
+ - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
+ you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
+
+ - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
+
+ - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
+
+5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
+ Backward compatibility fixes:
+
+ - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
+ Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
+ circumstances.
+ https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
+
+ Documentation fixes:
+
+ - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
+ - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
+ needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
+
+5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
+
+ Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
+ without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
+
+ Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
+
+ Cut another release.
+
+5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
+
+ See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
+
+ Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
+
+ 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)
