4 - Removed component resolution regexp fallback. Now it always warns
5 when the component is not found, and returns undef.
8 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
9 to also work in the $c->component method.
11 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
14 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
15 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
16 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
18 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
20 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
21 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
22 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
24 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
27 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
28 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
29 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
31 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
32 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
36 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
37 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
39 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
40 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
41 developers without changing their application code.
43 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
46 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
47 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
48 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
49 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
50 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
52 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
53 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
55 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
58 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
60 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
61 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
62 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
63 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
64 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
65 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
68 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
69 the Content-Length header appropriately)
70 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
71 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
72 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
73 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
74 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
75 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
77 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
78 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
79 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
80 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
81 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
82 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
83 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
84 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
87 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
88 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
90 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
93 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
94 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
98 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
99 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
101 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
104 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
106 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
107 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
109 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
111 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
114 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
116 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
119 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
120 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
121 load Utils before MyApp.pm
123 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
126 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
128 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
129 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
130 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
131 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
132 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
134 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
137 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
138 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
139 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
142 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
143 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
148 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
151 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
154 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
155 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
156 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
157 the default action creation.
160 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
161 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
162 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
163 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
164 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
165 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
166 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
169 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
171 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
173 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
175 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
178 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
179 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
180 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
181 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
182 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
185 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
186 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
189 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
190 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
191 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
192 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
194 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
197 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
198 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
199 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
200 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
201 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
202 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
203 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
204 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
207 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
208 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
209 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
211 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
212 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
213 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
214 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
217 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
218 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
221 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
222 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
225 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
228 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
229 the content type and content length if available.
231 Refactoring / optimizations:
232 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
233 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
234 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
235 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
236 screen as easy to write.
237 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
238 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
239 in parameter filtering (for example).
240 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
241 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
242 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
243 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
244 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
247 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
248 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
249 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
250 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
252 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
255 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
256 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
258 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
261 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
262 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
264 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
267 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
268 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
269 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
270 which should not be encoded.
271 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
272 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
274 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
275 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
276 any set of args/captures.
278 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
279 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
281 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
285 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
287 - Various minor typo fixes.
290 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
292 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
295 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
296 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
297 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
300 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
301 - Clarify documentation about debug
304 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
305 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
306 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
308 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
311 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
312 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
316 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
317 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
319 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
320 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
321 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
322 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
323 argv key in the options hash.
324 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
325 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
326 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
327 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
329 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
333 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
334 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
335 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
336 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
337 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
339 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
343 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
344 encoding test controller.
346 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
348 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
349 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
350 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
351 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
353 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
354 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
355 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
356 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
357 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
359 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
363 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
364 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
365 less packed with information of no use.
369 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
371 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
373 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
374 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
375 the single character '0'.
376 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
379 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
380 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
381 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
383 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
385 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
386 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
387 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
388 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
389 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
390 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
391 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
392 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
393 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
394 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
395 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
396 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
398 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
399 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
401 Refactoring / cleanups:
402 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
403 (and then skipped) normally.
406 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
408 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
411 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
412 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
413 on the old behaviour.
415 Refactoring / cleanups:
416 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
417 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
419 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
422 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
423 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
424 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
425 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
426 as there is no recommended alternative.
427 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
428 fallback for fully qualified component names.
429 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
430 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
431 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
432 startup, rather than with the first hit.
433 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
434 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
435 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
436 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
437 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
438 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
439 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
440 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
443 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
444 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
445 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
446 deprecated and causes warnings).
447 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
448 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
449 in the correct order.
450 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
452 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
453 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
454 is deprecated (RT#51489)
457 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
458 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
459 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
460 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
461 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
463 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
464 exception classes need to implement.
465 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
466 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
469 Refactoring / cleanups:
470 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
471 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
472 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
473 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
474 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
475 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
476 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
478 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
481 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
482 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
483 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
484 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
486 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
487 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
488 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
491 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
492 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
495 Refactoring / cleanups:
496 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
497 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
498 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
499 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
500 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
502 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
505 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
506 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
507 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
508 now loaded at most once + tests.
509 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
510 is returned to 'actions'.
511 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
512 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
514 Refactoring / cleanups:
515 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
516 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
519 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
520 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
521 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
523 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
526 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
527 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
530 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
533 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
534 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
535 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
537 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
540 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
541 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
542 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
544 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
547 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
548 application class immutable without that option.
549 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
550 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
552 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
553 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
554 (hopefully) future versions.
555 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
556 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
558 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
560 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
561 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
562 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
563 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
564 Request-URI of the Request-Line
566 Refactoring / cleanups:
567 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
568 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
569 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
570 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
571 known issues with 5.8.3.
572 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
573 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
576 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
577 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
578 for the controller namespace
579 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
580 expand_component_module (rjbs)
581 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
582 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
583 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
584 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
586 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
587 frontend port (jshirley)
588 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
592 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
593 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
594 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
595 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
598 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
601 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
602 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
603 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
605 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
606 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
607 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
608 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
609 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
610 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
614 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
615 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
616 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
619 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47

623 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
625 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
626 in some environments.
627 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
628 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
629 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
630 except works correctly with closures.
631 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
632 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
633 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
635 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
636 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.

641 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
642 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
643 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
644 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
645 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
647 Refactoring / cleanups:
648 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
649 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
650 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
651 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
653 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
654 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
655 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
657 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
658 again in Catalyst::Test
660 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

674 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
677 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
678 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
681 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
682 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
686 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

711 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
712 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
713 to report 'Unknown Error'
714 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
715 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

746 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
747 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
748 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
749 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
750 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
752 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
753 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
754 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

759 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
760 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
762 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple

787 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
789 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
790 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
791 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
792 tries to chain to itself
794 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
795 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
796 - Tests for this (radek)

799 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
800 - Tests for this (radek)
801 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
802 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

816 the restarter process
817 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
818 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
820 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
821 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
822 immutable restart correctly.
824 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
825 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
826 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

838 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
839 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
840 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
841 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
842 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
843 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
844 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
846 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
847 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

904 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
906 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
907 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server

933 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
934 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
935 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
936 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
937 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1105 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
1107 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
1108 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1109 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
1110 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
