It should + work entirely the same when used as a context method, please report + questions or problems! + - Removed code related to supporting the long deprecated stand alone + PSGI Engine. If you are still using this you code is now broken. + Luckily you can just stop using it and likely everything will work + under the new PSGI support built into Catalyst for several years. + - 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' now defaults to true.

This is helpful for the + test/dev server to be able to see messages during startup as well as before + the end of the request when the log is flushed. + - Fix spelling, grammar and structural errors in POD + - Remove redundant ->setup call in t/head_middleware.t RT#95361 + - Fix test failures when running under CATALYST_DEBUG. RT#95358 + +5.90064 - 2014-05-05 + - Fix for mindless broken tests on Win32 (Haarg++). + - Happy Cinco de Mayo! + +5.90063 - 2014-05-01 + - 'end' and other special actions won't catch HTTP style exceptions anymore. + - Fix bug where Catalyst did not properly detect the terminal width when in + debug mode and thus making the debug output narrow and hard to read. + - Documentation corrections for Util methods around localized PSGI $env. + - Improvements to auto detection of terminal width. + - Updating deprecation list to include Class::Load and ensure_class_loaded + - Added a few docs around middleware and corrected the order that middleware + is loaded when registering it via ->setup_middleware instead of via + configuration. + - Added a test case to make sure default middleware order is correct. +s +5.90062 - 2014-04-14 + - HTTP::Exception objects were not properly bubbled up to middleware since + there was some code in Catalyst that was triggering stringification. + +5.90061 - 2014-03-10 + - Reverted a change related to how plugins get initialized that was + introduced by a change in December. + +5.90060 - 2014-02-07 + - Same as 5.90059_006, just marking it as stable, no functional changes. + + +5.90059_006 - 2014-02-06 + - MyApp->setup now returns $app to allow class method chaining. + - New Util helper functional localize $env to make it easier to mount PSIG + applications under controllers and actions. See Catalyst::Utils/PSGI Helpers. + - NOTICE: Final Development release for Runner, unless significant issues are + raised. Please test. + +5.90059_005 - 2014-01-28 + - Specify newest versions of some middleware in attempt to solve test errors + reported while installing. +5.90059_004 - 2014-01-27 + - Make sure IO handle objects do 'getline' before sending them to the + response callback, to properly support the PSGI specification. + - Added some backcompat code when setting a response body to an object + that does 'read' but not 'getline'. Added deprecation notice for this + case. Added docs to Catalyst::Delta. + - Catalyst::Delta contains a list of behaviors which will be considered + deprecated immediatelty. Most items have workarounds and tweaks you can + make to avoid issues. These deprecations are targeted for removal/enforcement + in the Catalyst 6 release. Please review and give your feedback. + - More middleware to replace inline code (upasana++) + - Documentation around Exceptions and how we handle them. + - update copyright notices. + +5.90059_003 - 2013-12-24 + - More documentation about alternative ways to setup middleware. + - removed unneeded use of Devel::Dwarn in test case that was causing + fails to install (sorry). + - When finalizing caught errors, if the error conforms to the interface as + described by Plack::Middleware::HTTPExceptions, rethrow it and let the + middleware deal with it. + +5.90059_002 - 2013-12-21 + - We now pass a scalar or filehandle directly to you Plack handler, rather + than always use the streaming interface (we are still always using a + delayed response callback). This means that you can make use of Plack + middleware like Plack::Middleware::XSendfile and we expect better use of + server features (when they exist) like correct use of chunked encoding or + properly non blocking streaming when running under a supporting server like + Twiggy. See Catalyst::Delta for more. This change might cause issues if + you are making heaving use of streaming (although in general we expect things + to work much better. + - In the case when we remove a content body from the response because you set + an information status or a no content type status, warn that we are doing so + when in debug mode. You might see additional debugging information to help + you find and remove unneeded response bodies. + - Updated the code where Catalyst tries to guess a content length when you + fail to provide one. This should cause less issues when trying to guess the + length of a funky filehandle. This now uses Plack::Middleware::ContentLength + - Removed custom code to remove body content when the request is HEAD and + swapped it for Plack::Middleware::Head + - Merged fix for regressions from stable.. + +5.90059_001 - 2013-12-19 + - Removed deprecated Regexp dispatch type from dependency list. If you are + using Regex[p] type dispatching you need to add the standalone distribution + 'Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex' to you build system NOW or you application + will be broken. + +5.90053 - 2013-12-21 + - Reverted a change in the previous release that moved the setup_log phase + to after setup_config. This change was made to allow people to use + configuration that is late loaded (such as via the ConfigLoader Plugin) + to setup the plugin. However it also broke the ability to use the log + during plugin setup (ie, it breaks lots of plugins). Reverting the + change. See Catalyst::Delta for workarounds. + +5.90052 - 2013-12-18 + + - Fixed first block of startup debug messages missing when using a custom + logger that gets set at runtime, for example by overriding finalize_config + - Give a more descriptive error message when trying to load middleware that + does not exist. + - Change the way we initialize plugins to fix a bug where when using the + populare ConfigLoader plugin, configs merged are not available for setting + up middleware and data handlers (and probably other things as well). + + NOTE: This change might cause issues if you had code that was relying on the + broken behavior. For example external configuration that was being loaded to + late to have effect might now take effect. Please test you code carefully and + be aware of this possible issue . + + - You may now also call 'setup_middleware' as a package method if you think + that loading middleware via configuration is a weird or broken idea. + - Various POD formating fixed. + - Improved some documentation about what type of filehandles that ->body can + accept and issues that might arise. + +5.90051 - 2013-11-06 + - Be more skeptical of the existance of $request->env to fix a regression + introduced in Catalyst::Action::REST by the previous release + +5.90050 - 2013-11-05 + - Previously public predicates on the following attributes are now considered + private and their method names have been changed to follow Perl convention + for internal methods: + + -- Catalyst::Request->has_io_fh ==> _has_io_fh + -- Catalyst::Request->has_env ==> _has_env + -- Catalyst::Response->has_write_fh ==> _has_write_fh + + These are breaking changes but these methods were never documented and serve + no use for external code. If you are using thing, you need to make the noted + change (but please consider finding another way to do what you are trying to + do). t0m++ for code review of Hamburg branch. + +5.90049_006 - 2013-11-04 + - Fixed case where test could fail when Starman was partly installed (n0body++) + - Fixed missing date information in previous release + +5.90049_005 - 2013-10-31 + - NEW FEATURE: New Controller action attribute 'Consumes', which allows you + to specify the content type of the incoming request. This makes it easier + to create actions that only handle certain content type POST or PUT, such + as actions that only handle JSON or actions that only understand classic + HTML forms. + - NEW FEATURE: Request->body_data is now also populated from classic HTML + Forms using CGI::Struct to support nested data. For non nested data you + should use the classic ->body_parameters method. + - Removed PSGI $env keys that are added on the 'plack.request.*' namespace + since after discussion it was clear those keys are not part of the public + API. Keys removed: 'plack.request.query', 'plack.request.body', + 'plack.request.merged' and 'plack.request.http.body'. Altered some test + cases to reflect this change. + +5.90049_004 - 2013-10-18 + - JSON Data handler looks for both JSON::MaybeXS and JSON, and uses + whichever is first (prefering to find JSON::MaybeXS). This should + improve compatibility as you likely already have one installed. + - Fixed a warning in the server script (bokutin++) + - We now populate various Plack $env keys in order to play nice with + downstream middleware or plack apps (and to reduce processing if + those keys already exist). Keys added: + - plack.request.query + - plack.request.body + - plack.request.merged + - plack.request.http.body + (NOTE: REMOVED IN 5.90049_005) + - If incoming input (from a POST or PUT) is not buffered, create the + buffer and set the correct psgi env keys to note this for downstream + psgi apps / middleware. This should solve some issues where Catalyst + sucks up the body input but its not buffered so downstream apps can't + read it (for example FCGI does not buffer). We now also try to make + sure the body content input is reset to the start of the filehandle + so that we are polite to downstream middleware /apps. + - NEW FEATURE: Catalyst::Response can now pull response from a PSGI + specification response. This makes it easier to host external Plack + applications under Catalyst. See Catalyst::Response->from_psgi_response + - NEW FEATURE: New configuration option 'use_hash_multivalue_in_request' + will populate $request methods 'parameters', 'body_parameters' and + 'query_parameters' with an instance of Hash::MultiValue instead of a + HashRef. This is used by Plack and is intended to reduce the need to + write defensive logic since you are never sure if an incoming parameter + is a scalar or arrayref. + - NEW FEATURE: We now experimentally support Net::Async::HTTP::Server + and IO-Async based event loops. Examples will follow. + +5.90049_003 - 2013-09-20 + - Documented the new body_data method added in the previous release + - Merged from master many important bugfixes and forward compatiblity + updates, including: + - Use modern preferred method for Moose metaclass access and many other + small changes to how we use Moose for better forward compat (ether++) + - Killed some evil use of $@ (ether++) + - spelling fixes and documentation updates (ether++), (gerda++) + - use Test::Fatal over Test::Exception (ether++) + - Misc. test case fixes to modernize code (ether++) + - Added a first pass cpanfile, to try and make it easier to bootstrap + a development setup (ether++) + +5.90049_002 - 2013-08-20 + - Fixed loading middleware from project directory + - Fixed some pointless warnings when middleware class lacked VERSION + - NEW FEATURE: Declare global 'data_handlers' for parsing HTTP POST/PUT + alternative content, and created default JSON handler. Yes, now Catalyst + handles JSON request content out of the box! More docs eventually but + for now see the DATA HANDLERS section in Catalyst.pm (or review the test + case t/data_handler.t + +5.90049_001 - 2013-07-26 + - Declare PSGI compliant Middleware as part of your Catalyst Application via + a new configuration key, "psgi_middleware". + - Increased lowest allowed module version for Module::Pluggable to be 4.7 (up + from 3.4) to solve the fact this is no longer bundled with Perl in v5.18. + +5.90042 - 2013-06-14 + - Removed more places where an optional dependency shows up in the test + suite. Hopefully really fixed the unicode regression introduced in 5.90040 + - reverted the change we introduced in 5.90040 where a unicode conversion + error warned instead of died. Now it dies again, like in the stand alone + plugin + - More work to make sure nothing happens with encoding unless you explicitly + ask for encoding + - Code to hopefully fix an issue where file uploads using the unicode plugin + caused trouble. + +5.90041 - 2013-06-14 + - Bug fix release to fix regressions introduced in previous. I would consider + this a likely upgrade and if you are having trouble with the previous I hope + this fixes all of them. + - Fix regression with the cored Unicode plugin that broke systems where you are + setting encoding type in an external configuration file + - Fixed circular dependency introduced when we cored the unicode plugin tests + - Fixed a longstanding problem with stats when locale uses , instead of . for + number decimals + - Fixed some docs that didn't properly date the previous release. + +5.90040 - 2013-06-12 + ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained: + 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args + 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric + 3) :CaptureArgs() and :Args() arguments cannot be negative + - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11 + as it's been removed from core. RT#84787 + - New support for closing over the PSGI $writer object, useful for working + with event loops. + - lets you access a psgix.io socket, if your server supports it, for manual + handling of the client - server communication, such as for websockets. + - Fix waiting for the server to start in t/author/http-server.t + - new config flag 'abort_chain_on_error_fix' that exits immediately when a + action in an action chain throws and error (fixes issues where currently + the remaining actions are processed and the error is handled at chain + termination). + - Cored the Encoding plugin. Now get unicode out of the box by just setting + $c->config->{encoding} = 'UTF-8'. BACKCOMPAT WARNING: If you are using + the Encoding plugin on CPAN, we skip it to avoid double encoding issues, so + you should remove it from your plugin list, HOWEVER the 'encoding' config + setting is now undef, rather than 'UTF-8' (this was done to avoid breaking + people's existing applications) so you should add the encoding setting to + you global config. There's some other changes between the stand alone + plugin and the cored version, if you use it be sure to see Catalyst::Upgrading + for more. + - minor documentation typo fixes and updates + +5.90030 - 2013-04-12 + ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put + it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should + add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system. + - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called + as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call + MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to + resolve manually. + - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions. + - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger. + - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout. - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in - Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN + Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN. + - smarter valiation around action attributes. 5.90020 - 2013-02-22 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
