6 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
7 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
8 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
10 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
12 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
13 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
14 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
16 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
19 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
20 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
21 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
23 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
24 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
28 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
29 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
31 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
32 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
33 developers without changing their application code.
35 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
38 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
39 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
40 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
41 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
42 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
44 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
45 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
47 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
50 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
52 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
53 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
54 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
55 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
56 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
57 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
60 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
61 the Content-Length header appropriately)
62 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
63 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
64 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
65 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
66 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
67 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
69 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
70 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
71 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
72 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
73 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
74 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
75 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
76 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
79 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
80 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
82 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
85 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
86 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
90 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
91 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
93 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
96 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
98 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
99 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
101 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
103 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
106 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
108 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
111 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
112 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
113 load Utils before MyApp.pm
115 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
118 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
120 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
121 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
122 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
123 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
124 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
126 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
129 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
130 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
131 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
134 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
135 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
140 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
143 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
146 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
147 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
148 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
149 the default action creation.
152 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
153 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
154 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
155 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
156 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
157 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
158 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
161 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
163 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
165 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
167 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
170 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
171 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
172 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
173 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
174 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
177 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
178 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
181 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
182 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
183 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
184 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
186 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
189 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
190 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
191 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
192 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
193 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
194 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
195 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
196 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
199 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
200 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
201 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
203 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
204 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
205 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
206 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
209 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
210 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
213 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
214 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
217 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
220 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
221 the content type and content length if available.
223 Refactoring / optimizations:
224 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
225 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
226 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
227 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
228 screen as easy to write.
229 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
230 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
231 in parameter filtering (for example).
232 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
233 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
234 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
235 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
236 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
239 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
240 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
241 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
242 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
244 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
247 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
248 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
250 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
253 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
254 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
256 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
259 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
260 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
261 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
262 which should not be encoded.
263 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
264 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
266 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
267 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
268 any set of args/captures.
270 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
271 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
273 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
277 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
279 - Various minor typo fixes.
282 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
284 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
287 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
288 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
289 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
292 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
293 - Clarify documentation about debug
296 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
297 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
298 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
300 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
303 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
304 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
308 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
309 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
311 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
312 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
313 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
314 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
315 argv key in the options hash.
316 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
317 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
318 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
319 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
321 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
325 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
326 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
327 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
328 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
329 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
331 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
335 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
336 encoding test controller.
338 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
340 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
341 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
342 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
343 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
345 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
346 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
347 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
348 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
349 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
351 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
355 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
356 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
357 less packed with information of no use.
361 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
363 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
365 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
366 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
367 the single character '0'.
368 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
371 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
372 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
373 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
375 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
377 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
378 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
379 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
380 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
381 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
382 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
383 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
384 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
385 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
386 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
387 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
388 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
390 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
391 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
393 Refactoring / cleanups:
394 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
395 (and then skipped) normally.
398 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
400 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
403 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
404 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
405 on the old behaviour.
407 Refactoring / cleanups:
408 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
409 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
411 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
414 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
415 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
416 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
417 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
418 as there is no recommended alternative.
419 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
420 fallback for fully qualified component names.
421 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
422 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
423 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
424 startup, rather than with the first hit.
425 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
426 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
427 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
428 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
429 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
430 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
431 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
432 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
435 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
436 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
437 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
438 deprecated and causes warnings).
439 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
440 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
441 in the correct order.
442 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
444 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
445 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
446 is deprecated (RT#51489)
449 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
450 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
451 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
452 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
453 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
455 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
456 exception classes need to implement.
457 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
458 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
461 Refactoring / cleanups:
462 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
463 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
464 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
465 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
466 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
467 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
468 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
470 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
473 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
474 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
475 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
476 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
478 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
479 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
480 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
483 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
484 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
487 Refactoring / cleanups:
488 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
489 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
490 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
491 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
492 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
494 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
497 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
498 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
499 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
500 now loaded at most once + tests.
501 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
502 is returned to 'actions'.
503 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
504 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
506 Refactoring / cleanups:
507 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
508 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
511 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
512 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
513 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
515 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
518 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
519 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
522 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
525 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
526 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
527 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
529 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
532 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
533 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
534 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
536 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
539 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
540 application class immutable without that option.
541 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
542 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
544 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
545 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
546 (hopefully) future versions.
547 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
548 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
550 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
552 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
553 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
554 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
555 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
556 Request-URI of the Request-Line
558 Refactoring / cleanups:
559 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
560 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
561 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
562 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
563 known issues with 5.8.3.
564 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
565 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
568 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
569 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
570 for the controller namespace
571 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
572 expand_component_module (rjbs)
573 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
574 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
575 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
576 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
578 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
579 frontend port (jshirley)
580 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
584 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
585 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
586 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
587 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
590 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
593 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
594 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
595 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
597 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
598 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
599 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
600 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
601 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
602 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
606 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
607 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
608 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
611 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
614 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
615 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
617 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
618 in some environments.
619 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
620 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
621 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
622 except works correctly with closures.
623 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
624 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
625 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
627 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
628 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.

632 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
633 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
634 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
635 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
636 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
637 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
639 Refactoring / cleanups:
640 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
641 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
642 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
643 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
645 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
646 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
647 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
649 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
650 again in Catalyst::Test
652 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

663 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
664 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
666 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
669 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
670 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
673 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
674 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
678 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

704 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
705 to report 'Unknown Error'
706 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to

742 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
744 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
745 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
746 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

751 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
752 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

781 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
782 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
783 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
784 tries to chain to itself
786 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
787 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
788 - Tests for this (radek)

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

808 the restarter process
809 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
810 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
812 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
813 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
814 immutable restart correctly.
816 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
817 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

832 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
833 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
834 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
835 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
836 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
838 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
839 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

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

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

1100 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1101 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
