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
