1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Text::SimpleTable's go as wide as $ENV{COLUMNS} (jhannah)

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

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

41 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server (t0m)

47 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
48 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

54 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

68 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
69 Sewn together by t0m from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
70 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
71 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on (t0m)
72 - Add a clearer method on request and response _context
73 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
74 the key from the instance hash (t0m)
75 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
76 trivial delegation methods (t0m)
77 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

192 5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
193 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
194 throw warnings for two reasons:
195 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
196 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
198 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
199 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
200 method with a regex as the argument

243 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
