# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
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
+ (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)
+
+ 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'
+ - 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.
+ - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
+ when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
+
+ New features:
+ - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
+ - Allow uri_for($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.
+ (Forrest Cahoon)

+
+ Bug fixes:
- Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
- Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
- Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
config->{action(s)}
- Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
+ - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
+ add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
- Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
- Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
(jasonk in RT#42816)
+ - Fix bugs with action sorting:
+ - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
+ - Action methods named default and index fixed.
New features:
- Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
- Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
- Refactoring / cleanups:
+ Refactoring / cleanups:
- Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
- Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
