Changelog

All notable changes to MVC::Keayl are recorded here. The format groups entries under Added, Changed, Fixed, and Removed.

v0.9.1 (2026-07-11)

Added

• Multipart form parsing: a multipart/form-data request body parses text fields and file fields, each file becoming a { filename, content, type } hash whose content is the raw upload as a Blob, so binary uploads reach controller parameters byte-for-byte.

• Model and form translation on the i18n backend: human-attribute-name, human-model-name, translate-error, form-label, form-placeholder, and submit-default, each accepting the model as a class or an instance.

Changed

• Development defaults to a log level that shows request logging, so a locally booted app logs each request without extra configuration. Other environments stay silent unless log-level is set.

Fixed

• Class-level controller traits (is layout, is protect-from-forgery, is filter-parameters, is wrap-parameters, and a class-level helper-method declaration) were silently dropped when the controller was precompiled in its own module. They are now stored on the class itself and survive precompilation.

v0.9.0 (2026-06-25)

First public release. MVC::Keayl is the web layer of a Rails-style stack for Raku, pairing with ORM::ActiveRecord for models and Template::HAML for views.

Added

• Request and Response wrappers over the underlying HTTP server.

• Rack-like middleware stack and endpoint protocol, with built-in middleware for static file serving, host authorization, request logging, request IDs, SSL redirection, and secure headers.

• Abstract server adapter contract, with a Cro-based default adapter and an in-memory test adapter.

• Routes file DSL with resourceful routes, mounts, redirects, path patterns, and URL helpers.

• Base controller with per-request state, action dispatch, and filters.

• Inline controller DSL through method and class traits: is before-action, is after-action, is around-action, is rescue-from, is helper-method, is layout, is protect-from-forgery, is rate-limit, is wrap-parameters, is filter-parameters, is add-flash-types, and is http-basic-authenticate-with.

• View resolution, pluggable view handlers with a HAML handler, and view caching.

• URL, asset, date/time, form, number, options, tag, and text view helpers.

• Custom view helper modules from app/helpers, with an ApplicationHelper and per-controller <Name>Helper loaded into the view context and reloaded on change in development.

• Cookie jar with signed and encrypted variants.

• Session abstraction with cookie-backed and server-side stores.

• Flash messages that survive one redirect.

• CSRF authenticity tokens and forgery protection.

• Parameter filtering to redact sensitive values from logs.

• Transport and host security: SSL enforcement, host authorization, and secure headers.

• Secrets resolution, credentials, and key derivation.

• Content negotiation with MIME types, respond-to, and an API controller base.

• Conditional GET, cache headers, fragment caching, and response streaming.

• Application object with configuration loading, boot, and request dispatch.

• Internationalization with locales and pluralization.

• HTTP authentication helpers.

• Logging, instrumentation and notifications, error reporting, and a developer exception page.

• Background jobs with async, inline, test, and database queue adapters, plus GlobalID serialization.

• Mailer with file, SMTP, and test delivery, previews, and a delivery job.

• Action Mailbox for routing and ingesting inbound mail.

• Action Text for rich text content.

• Active Storage with services, attachments, variants, and blob serving.

• Cable with channels, connections, in-memory and external pub/sub, and broadcasting.
