# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
-#
- - Add allow_mutable_ancestors option when force inlining a constructor onto
- applications with plugins defining their own (usually Class::Accessor::Fast)
- new methods, to avoid warnings generated by upcoming Moose releases
- as we can make a class (MyApp) immutable when not all of it's superclasses
- (e.g. plugins not fully Moose converted, but using
- MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast) are not immutable.
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Additional fix for getting the base application path right when rewriting
+ requests into an application sub path with mod_alias and mod_rewrite on
+ Apache.
+ - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
+ when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
+ ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
+ - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
+ dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
+ - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
+ the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
+ - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
+
+ New features:
+ - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
+ now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
+ - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
+ HttpOnly flag
+ - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
+ will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
+ - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
+ response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
+
+5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
+
+ New features:
+ - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
+ the content type and content length if available.
+
+ Refactoring / optimizations:
+ - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
+ log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
+ log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
+ plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
+ screen as easy to write.
+ - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
+ $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
+ in parameter filtering (for example).
+ - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
+ by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
+ - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
+ by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
+ developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
+
+ Bugs fixed:
+ - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
+ with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
+ - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
+ multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
+
+5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
+
+ Bug fixed:
+ - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
+ ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
+
+5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
+
+ New features:
+ - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
+ overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
+
+5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
+
+ Bug fixed:
+ - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
+ $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
+ / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
+ which should not be encoded.
+ Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
+ will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
+
+ - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
+ an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
+ any set of args/captures.
+
+ - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
+ path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
+
+ - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
+ removed.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
+ for applications.
+ - Various minor typo fixes.
+
+ New features:
+ - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
+
+5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
+
+ Bug fixed:
+ - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
+ paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
+ in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
+ - Clarify documentation about debug
+
+ Deprecations:
+ - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
+ the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
+ You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
+
+5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
+ be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
+ MyApp::View::HTML).
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
+ - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
+ (RT#52898)
+ - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
+ requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
+ %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
+ - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
+ argv key in the options hash.
+ - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
+ Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
+ with the correct options on SIGHUP.
+ - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
+ versions >= 0.93_01
+ - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
+ versions >= 0.93_01
+
+ Cleanups:
+ - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
+ have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
+ your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
+ not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
+ about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
+
+5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
+
+ Bug fixes:
+
+ - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
+ encoding test controller.
+
+ Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
+
+ - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
+ backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
+ - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
+ than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
+ Rolsky)
+ - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
+ - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
+ - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
+ some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
+ the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
+ URI.
+ - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
+
+ New features:
+
+ - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
+ (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
+ less packed with information of no use.
+
+ Documentation:
+
+ - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
+
+5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
+ prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
+ the single character '0'.
+ - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
+ - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
+ FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
+
+5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
+ 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, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
+ being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
+ than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
+ (RT#50082)
+ - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
+ in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
+ (and then skipped) normally.
+
+ Documentation:
+ - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
+
+5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
+ to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
+ on the old behaviour.
+
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
+ - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
+ are deprecated and now issue warnings.
+
+5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
+
+ Bug fixes:
+ - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
+ MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
+ role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
+ - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
+ as there is no recommended alternative.
+ - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
+ fallback for fully qualified component names.
+ - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
+ - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
+ hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
+ startup, rather than with the first hit.
+ - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
+ - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
+ - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
+ valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
+ - Args ($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
