# This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
- Change Catalsyt _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
- In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
- Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
of request or response classes.
5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
- prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
- Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
- Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
- Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
- Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
- Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
- Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
- Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
- Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
- Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
$c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
- Release previous TRIAL as stable.
- We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
of Catalyst.
5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
New features:
- Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
Bug fixes:
- Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
- Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
are supplied.
- Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
top level config.
- Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
- Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
Distribution META.yml changes:
- author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
mis-parses from the documentation.
- x_authority key added.
Bug fixes:
- Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
- Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
is less than helpful.
- Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
in bleadperl. RT#76437
- Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
Documentation:
- Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
directly.
- Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
- Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
- Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
Bug fixes:
- Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
works better for extensions which have entire applications in
their test suites.
- Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
applications.
- --background option for the server script now only closes
STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
and other loggers which open a file handle when
- Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
- Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
callback.
5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
Bug fixes:
- Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
Bug fixes:
- Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
refactoring.
- The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
included when not running from a checkout.
- Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
- Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
- In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
New features and refactoring:
- Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
(for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
Deprecations:
- This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
- The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
Back compatibility fixes:
- Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
$c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
accessing the raw PSGI environment.
Tests:
- Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
Documentation:
- Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
- Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
New features:
- Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
Bug fixes:
- Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
< 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
over that.
- Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
New features:
- A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
get them passed through to the application.
Doumentation:
- Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
Bug fixes:
- Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
a value.
This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
'1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
- Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
New features:
- $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
$c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
whereas before you had to say:
$c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
the two.
- Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
- MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
scripts in the application.
- MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
(for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
otherwise).
Documentation:
- Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
to avoid confusion
- Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
- Remove references to the -Engine flag.
- Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
- Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
- Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
and provide an alternative.
5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
Bug fixes:
- Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
MyApp->engine_class.
5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
Bug fixes:
- Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
- Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
Enhancements:
- Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
Backward compatibility fixes:
- Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
Documentation fixes:
- Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
- Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
- Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
Backward compatibility fixes:
- Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
circumstances.
https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
Documentation fixes:
- Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
- Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
Cut another release.
5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
Backward compatibility fixes:
- Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
- Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
for backward compatibility.
Documentation:
- Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
Changes:
- nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
Backward compatibility fixes:
- Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
Bug fixes:
- mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
been made immutable.
- Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
example) Coro is loaded.
- Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
- Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
using MooseX::Deamonize
- Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
(when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
deployed in these environments.
Enhancements:
- Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
the remote request.
Documentation:
- Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
file for your application.
- Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
engines clarified.
Deprecations:
- Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
use the normal request function against a local server instead.
5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
Bug fixes:
- Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
- Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
- Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
- Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
IO::Handle's behaviour.
- Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
was not breaking out correctly
- Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
to also work in the $c->component method.
- Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
mode.
- Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
- Change repository metadata to point at git.
- Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
- Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
names.
- Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
Bug fixes:
- Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
not being installed.
Refactoring:
- Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
- Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
- Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
Known problems:
- Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
the new major version of Catalyst.
Documentation:
- The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
of Catalyst has been much improved.
5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
Bug fixes:
- Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
$c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
returning true.
Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
- Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
- Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
in Catalyst::execute
- Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
(e.g. /account/*)
New features:
- Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
developers without changing their application code.
5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
Bug fixes:
- Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
- Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
body (e.g. doing a redirect)
5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
Removed features:
- All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
class, please tell us *now*.
5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
New features:
- Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
title.
- Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
Bug fixes:
- Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
the Content-Length header appropriately)
- Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
failing case.
- Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
Documentation:
- Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
New features:
- Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
confused.
Warning fixes:
- Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
Bug fixes:
- use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
- Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
- Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
Bug fixes:
- Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
Bug fixes:
- Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
load Utils before MyApp.pm
- Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
application
- Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
- parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
- Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
mode (RT#59738)
- Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
Refactoring:
- moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
Documentation:
- Fix some typos
- Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
New features:
- An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
allow controller base classes, roles or traits
(e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
the default action creation.
Bug fixes:
- Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
- Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
- Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
- Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
- Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
Documentation:
- Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
point.
- Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
values.
- Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
Bug fixes:
- Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
with mod_rewrite and SSI.
New features:
- Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
Documentation:
- Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
- Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
and the implications of setting this to true/false in
Catalyst::Engine::CGI
5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
Bug fixes:
- 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.
- Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
Documentation:
- The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
Cleanups:
- Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
$Catalyst::VERSION.
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:
- $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
($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.

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

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.

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.
