# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
Bug fixes:
+ - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
+ upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
+ upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
+ produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
+ values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
+ - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
+ - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
+ $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
+ decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
+ tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar.. RT#50082
+ - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
+ in non CGI contexts.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
+ (and then skipped) normally.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
+
+5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
+ to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
+ on the old behaviour.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
+ are deprecated and now issue warnings.
+
+5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
+ MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
+ role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
+ - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
+ as there is no recommended alternative.
+ - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
+ fallback for fully qualified component names.
+ - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
+ - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
+ hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
+ startup, rather than with the first hit.
+ - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
+ - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
+ - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
+ valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
+ - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
+ passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
+ correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
+ correctly uri encoded to %2F.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
+ - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
+ - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
+ deprecated and causes warnings).
+ - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
+ - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
+ in the correct order.
+ - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
+ context.
+ - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
+ - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
+ is deprecated (RT#51489)
+
+ New features:
+ - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
+ switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
+ - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
+ proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
+ - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
+ distributions
+ - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
+ exception classes need to implement.
+ - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
+ Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
+ use it.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
+ - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
+ setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
+ believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
+ and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
+ why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
+ - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
+
+5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
+ Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
+ This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
+ plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
+ method.
+ - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
+ to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
+ - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
+ - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
+ warnings.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
+ using them will now generate a warning at startup.
+ - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
+ applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
+ this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
+
+5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
+ - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
+ - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
+ now loaded at most once + tests.
+ - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
+ is returned to 'actions'.
+ - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
+ decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
+ many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
+
+ Tests:
+ - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
+ run by authors to stop it being broken again.
+ - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
+
+5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
+ failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
+ installed in @INC.
+
+5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
+ Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
+ than the default chunksize of 64k again.
+
+5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
+ method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
+ This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
+
+5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
+
+ Bug fixes:
- Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
application class immutable without that option.
- Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
tests.
- Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
- IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
+ IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
(hopefully) future versions.
+ - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
+ localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
+ variables (RT#48555)
+ - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
+ (RT#48623)
+ - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
+ body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
+ when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
+ - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
+ Request-URI of the Request-Line
Refactoring / cleanups:
- Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
- - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t' (groditi)
+ - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
- Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
- known issues with 5.8.3, and nobody is prepared to fix / support perl
- older than 5.8.6 any more. Patches to regain compatibility to older
- perls would be welcome.
+ known issues with 5.8.3.
- Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
New features:
- - private_path method for Catalyst::Action + docs + tests (groditi)
+ - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
+ - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
+ for the controller namespace
+ - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
+ expand_component_module (rjbs)
+ - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
+ correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
+ as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
+ which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
+ actions etc.
+ - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
+ frontend port (jshirley)
+ - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
+ the request.
Documentation:
- Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
- Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
+ - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
