4 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
5 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
6 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
7 configuration in your application. (t0m)
9 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
10 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
11 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
13 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
14 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
16 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
17 has been made private (t0m)

29 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

31 warning on recent Moose versions.
32 - Add delta documentation
33 - Clean up recursion errors
34 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
35 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
37 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
38 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
40 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
41 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
42 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
43 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
45 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
46 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
47 - Tests for this (radek)
48 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
49 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
50 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
51 - Tests for this (radek)
52 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
53 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
54 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
55 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
57 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
58 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
59 spurious warnings (t0m)
60 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
62 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
63 in production versions (t0m)
64 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
65 the correct metaclass (t0m)
66 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
67 the restarter process (t0m)
68 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
69 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
70 - Tests for this (t0m)
71 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
72 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
73 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
74 - Tests for this (t0m)
75 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
76 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)

78 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

89 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
90 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
91 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
92 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
93 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
94 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
95 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
97 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
98 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
99 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

131 keep-alive requests. (andyg)
132 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
133 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
134 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
135 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
136 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
137 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
138 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
139 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

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

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

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

167 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

170 components (Florian Ragwitz)
171 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)

173 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

192 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
193 the key from the instance hash (t0m)
194 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace

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

318 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
319 method with a regex as the argument

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