Punk-0.46

Changes for version 0.46 - 2026-09-08

  • ADDS: $c->req->xml - the request body parsed as XML through File::Raw::XML's C ABI, as a File::Raw::XML::Document. The parse is strict and takes no options: a DOCTYPE is refused wherever it stands, so external entities, XXE and the billion laughs are not reachable from a request. Parsed once per request.
  • ADDS: $c->xml($doc, $status?) - a Document, a Node or a string of markup as an application/xml response.
  • FIXES: a File::Raw::XML::Document returned from a handler, or set as a Punk::Response body, was JSON-encoded - it is a blessed reference like any other. It is now written as markup, which is also what makes respond_to(xml => sub { $doc }) answer application/xml.
  • Punk::Test takes `xml => $doc_or_string` as a request body and answers ->xml with the parsed response.
  • NOTE: $c->validate's `auto` source recognises only application/json, so a schema on an XML POST validates the query string rather than the body. Name the source to be sure of it.
  • File::Raw::XML 0.03 is a new prerequisite.
  • FIXES: the file cache's single-flight lock judged its holder's age from whole-second st_mtime, so an age could read a second too high and a `lock_wait` under a second was spent before it began
  • FIXES: a single-flight lock that could not be attempted at all - a path that would not form - answered "you won", so every caller computed and the herd ran unprotected with nothing said. It is counted now and reported as `lock_errors` from the file store's stats.
  • t/0733-auth-sqitch.t asserted Sqitch's own deploy output, which is translated - under LC_ALL=de_DE a successful deploy reports "+ users ........ OK" and the test failed.
