# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
+5.90089_001 - TBA
+
+5.90080 - 2014-01-09
+ - Minor documentation corrections
+ - Make the '79 development series stable
+
+5.90079_008 - 2015-01-07
+ - If we get a response set from $res->from_psgi_response and that response
+ has a charset for the content type, we clear encoding for the rest of the
+ response (avoid double encoding). Added more documentation around this.
+ - Documentation updates and typo fixes across various UTF8 docs (Mark Ellis++)
+
+5.90079_007 - 2015-01-07
+ - Merged from Stable (5.90079)
+ - reviewed and cleaned up UTF8 related docs
+ - replace missing utf8 pragma in Catalyst::Engine
+ - Cleaned up spelling errors in various docs (abbraxxa++)
+ - New document Catalyst::UTF8 which attempts to summarize UTF8 and encoding
+ changes introduced in v5.90080.
+
+5.90079_006 - 2015-01-02
+ - Removed unneeded dependency 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 response should be encoded.
+ - Warn if changing headers only if headers are finalized AND the response callback
+ has already 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 Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response to allow the first argument to
+ be an object that does ->as_psgi.
+ - Modified Catalyst::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 always 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 specified 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 method '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.
+
+5.90079 - 2015-01-02
+ - Removed dependency from test case that we don't install for testing (
+ rt #101243)
+ - updated year in copyright notices
+
+5.90078 - 2014-12-30
+ - POD corrections (sergey++)
+ - New configuration option to disable the HTTP Exception passthrough 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/
