1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
4 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
5 controller naming. (random)
6 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
7 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78 (t0m)
8 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
9 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741 (t0m)
10 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
12 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
14 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when

22 - Fix cases where your application failing to complie could cause perl
23 to report 'Unknown Error' (t0m)
24 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
25 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA (t0m)
26 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
27 parse_on_demand is on (t0m)
29 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
30 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
31 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning. (rafl)
32 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
33 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
34 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast. (rafl)
35 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
36 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
37 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

41 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
42 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
43 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

46 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)

62 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
63 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
64 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
65 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
66 configuration in your application. (t0m)
67 - Tests for this (t0m)

69 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

72 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
73 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
75 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
76 has been made private (t0m)
77 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
78 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
79 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
80 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width

99 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
100 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
101 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
102 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
104 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
105 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
106 - Tests for this (radek)

117 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
118 spurious warnings (t0m)
119 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
120 - Test for this (t0m)
121 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace

129 - Tests for this (t0m)
130 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
131 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
132 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
133 - Tests for this (t0m)
134 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
135 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)

148 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
149 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

151 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
152 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
153 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
154 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
156 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
157 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

192 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
193 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
194 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
195 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
196 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
197 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
198 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

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

212 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
213 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

232 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

371 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
372 throw warnings for two reasons:
373 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned

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