Upstream changes:
5.90112 - 2016-07-25
- Spelling fixes from Debian group.
- Fixed regression introduced in last release that caused the code to crap out
if you set the encoding to 'undef'.
Upstream changes:
5.90111 - 2016-07-20
- Improved documentation around some of the unicode changes; tests (melmothx++)
5.90110 - 2016-07-20
- Better catching of HTTP style exceptions so that you can reliable use one to
override many core method.
- Documention on better ways to catch and handle Unicode errors
- We now check the unicode in your URL request queries and raise an error if the
check fails. This was done to be consistent with what we do in other parts of
the code (such as in args, or POSTed parameters). If this breaks your code in
ways you don't want to fix, you may disable this using the global configuration
setting, "do_not_check_query_encoding".
- Removed configuration setting, "decode_query_using_global_encoding" since it no
longer does anything useful. Query decoding follows from whatever you set the
global encoding to, unless you specify an alternative or to not decode.
5.90106 - 2016-07-05
- Fixed regression in debug screen rendering of the private names in chained
actions caused by commit 5dd46e24eedec447bdfbc4061ed683b5a17a7b0c.
- Fixed incorrect date entered for the release of 5.90105
- Fixed some incorrect code in a test case that might be causing test fails
in some configurations.
5.90105 - 2016-06-08
- Tweak some test cases to try and prevent them from failing in limited cases.
- Changed how we compose traits onto the response, request, and stats class so
that we compose just once at setup time (performance optimization). Also added
a debug screen at startup to display composed classes to help with debugging.
- Fixed a regressed caused by the changes we made to the way ->state works so that
now when you forward to an action and that action throws an exception, $c->state
is set to 0, instead of the value of the exeption (this is to be as indicated by
the documentation). (cventers++ for reported bug and test case).
- Changed the code that detects if you try to set HTTP headers after headers are
finalized to not warn if you are just requested the response header state. Tweaked
this error message a bit to help people understand it.
5.90104 - 2016-04-04
- Merged pull request #131, fix for noisy debug logs when used type constraints
in your actions. Additional changes to the developer debug screen output to
improve reporting details.
- Merged pull request #133, fix for case when a file upload filename contains
wide characters which caused the filename to not appear in the uploads hash.
Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
Key pkgsrc change - move p5-Class-Data-Inheritable from BUILD_DEPENDS to
DEPENDS, as is needed at runtime (previous p5-Catalyst-Runtime package would
fail to run on non build machine due to this)
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 </NOTE>.
- 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.
Update DEPENDS
Upstream changes:
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 $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
resolve manually.
- documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
- Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
- Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
- Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
- smarter valiation around action attributes.
5.90020 - 2013-02-22
! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
- New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
in behavior is compatible on its own.
- Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
- security fixes in the way we handle redirects
- Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
- Some test and documentation improvements
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
- Cleaned deps to match current Catalyst reqs.
ChangeLog:
5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
- Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
- Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
- Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
RT#77100 & RT#81121
5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
- Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
HTTP::Message.
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
ChangeLog:
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
pkgsrc change: handle p5-Class-MOP now being part of p5-Moose
pkgsrc changes:
- adjusting dependencies
- updating module type
Upstream changes:
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).
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust dependencies (>=0 -> -[0-9]*)
Upstream changes:
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)
Upstream changes:
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.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjusting dependencies
Upstream changes:
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.
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 $ENV{PATH_INFO}
in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
Refactoring / cleanups:
- NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
(and then skipped) normally.
Documentation:
- Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
Bug fixes:
- Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
on the old behaviour.
Refactoring / cleanups:
- Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
are deprecated and now issue warnings.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjusting dependencies
Upstream changes:
5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
Bug fixes:
- Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
- Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
as there is no recommended alternative.
- Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
fallback for fully qualified component names.
- Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
- Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
startup, rather than with the first hit.
- Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
- Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
- Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
- Args ($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.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjusting dependencies
Upstream changes:
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.
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
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjusting dependencies
Upstream changes:
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
(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'
- Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
known issues with 5.8.3.
- Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
New features:
- Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
- Allow uri_for($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.

Upstream changes:
5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
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
(like ActionClass).
New features:
- Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
URI.
5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
Bug fixes:
- Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
applications.
- Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
in some environments.
- Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
except works correctly with closures.
- Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
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
MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
- Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
- Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
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
strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
error message.
- Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
- Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
Fixes RT#47366

subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
syntax. (rafl/hdp)

components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
cases (t0m)

- Updated Catalyst::Test docs to mention the use of HTTP::Request
objects (Rafael Kitover)
5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
- Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
throw warnings for two reasons:
1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
-- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
instead
2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
method with a regex as the argument
- remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't thrown (RT #36428)
- Update HTTP::Body dep so that the uploadtmp config value will work (RT #22540)
- Fix for LocalRegex when used in the Root controller
- Get some of the optional_* tests working from dirs with spaces (RT #26455)
- Fix Catalyst::Utils::home() when application .pm is in the current dir (RT #34437)
- Added the ability to remove parameters in req->uri_with() by passing in
an undef value (RT #34782)
- Added $c->go, to do an internal redispatch to another action, while retaining the
contents of the stash
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.8.8 -> 5.10.0.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=...").
Catalyst is an elegant web application framework, extremely flexible yet
extremely simple. It's similar to Ruby on Rails, Spring (Java) and
Maypole, upon which it was originally based.
Catalyst follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, allowing
you to easily separate concerns, like content, presentation and flow control,
into separate modules. This separation allows you to modify code that handles
one concern without affecting code that handles the others. Catalyst promotes
re-use of existing Perl modules that already handle common web application
concerns well.
