3 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
4 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
5 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
6 configuration in your application. (t0m)
8 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
9 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
11 5.80002 2009-04-21 12:21:00

30 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

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

39 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
41 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
42 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
43 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
44 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
46 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
47 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
48 - Tests for this (radek)
49 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
50 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
51 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
52 - Tests for this (radek)
53 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
54 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
55 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
56 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
58 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
59 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
60 spurious warnings (t0m)
61 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
63 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
64 in production versions (t0m)
65 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
66 the correct metaclass (t0m)
67 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
68 the restarter process (t0m)
69 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
70 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
71 - Tests for this (t0m)
72 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
73 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
74 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
75 - Tests for this (t0m)
76 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises

79 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

92 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
93 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
94 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
95 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
96 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
98 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
99 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
100 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

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

171 components (Florian Ragwitz)
172 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
173 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
174 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

313 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
314 throw warnings for two reasons:
315 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
316 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

320 method with a regex as the argument

363 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
