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 Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
17 incompatibility issues in some cases. (t0m)
18 - Additional tests for setup_stats method. (t0m)
20 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
21 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
22 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
23 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
24 configuration in your application. (t0m)
25 - Tests for this (t0m)
26 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
27 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
28 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
30 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
31 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
33 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
34 has been made private (t0m)
35 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
36 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
37 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
38 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
40 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
42 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
43 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions (t0m)
44 - Fix all of t0m's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)

50 - Clean up recursion errors
51 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
52 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef

55 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
57 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
58 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
59 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
60 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
62 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
63 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
64 - Tests for this (radek)
65 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
66 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
67 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
68 - Tests for this (radek)
69 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
70 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
71 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
72 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
74 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
75 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
76 spurious warnings (t0m)
77 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
79 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
80 in production versions (t0m)
81 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
82 the correct metaclass (t0m)
83 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
84 the restarter process (t0m)
85 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
86 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
87 - Tests for this (t0m)
88 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
89 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
90 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
91 - Tests for this (t0m)
92 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
93 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)

95 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
96 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test (rafl)
97 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment (rafl)

104 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP. (rafl)
105 - Add $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
106 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
107 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
108 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
109 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
110 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
111 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
112 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
114 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
115 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
116 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

150 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
151 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

153 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
154 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
155 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
156 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

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

181 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
182 - Tests for this (t0m)
183 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
184 test sync for engines easier (t0m)
185 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
186 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
187 components (Florian Ragwitz)
188 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
189 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
190 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
191 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

194 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp (t0m)

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

376 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)

379 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
380 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
