3 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
4 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
5 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
7 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
8 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
9 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
10 - POD formatting fix for Catalyst::Test (Dan Dascalescu)
11 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
12 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
13 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
14 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
15 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)
16 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version (t0m)
17 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass

25 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
26 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
27 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
28 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
29 configuration in your application. (t0m)
30 - Tests for this (t0m)
31 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
32 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
33 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
35 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
36 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)

41 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
42 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
43 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
45 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
47 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
48 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions (t0m)
49 - Fix all of t0m's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)

55 - Clean up recursion errors
56 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
57 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
59 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated

62 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
63 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
64 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
65 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
67 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
68 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
69 - Tests for this (radek)
70 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
71 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
72 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
73 - Tests for this (radek)
74 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
75 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
76 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
77 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
79 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
80 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
81 spurious warnings (t0m)
82 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
84 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
85 in production versions (t0m)
86 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
87 the correct metaclass (t0m)
88 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
89 the restarter process (t0m)
90 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
91 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
92 - Tests for this (t0m)
93 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
94 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
95 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
96 - Tests for this (t0m)
97 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
98 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
99 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
100 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

111 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
112 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
113 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
114 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
115 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
116 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
117 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
119 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
120 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
121 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

153 keep-alive requests. (andyg)
154 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
155 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
156 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
157 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
158 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
159 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
160 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
161 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

173 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)

175 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by

186 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)

192 components (Florian Ragwitz)
193 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
194 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
195 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
196 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

334 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
335 throw warnings for two reasons:
336 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
337 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
339 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
340 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
341 method with a regex as the argument

381 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
383 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
384 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
