1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
5 to also work in the $c->component method.
7 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
10 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
11 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
12 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
14 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
16 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
17 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
18 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
20 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
23 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
24 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
25 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
27 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
28 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
32 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
33 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
35 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
36 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
37 developers without changing their application code.
39 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
42 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
43 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
44 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
45 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
46 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
48 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
49 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
51 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
54 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
56 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
57 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
58 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
59 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
60 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
61 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
64 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
65 the Content-Length header appropriately)
66 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
67 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
68 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
69 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
70 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
71 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
73 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
74 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
75 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
76 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
77 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
78 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
79 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
80 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
83 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
84 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
86 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
89 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
90 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
94 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
95 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
97 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
100 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
102 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
103 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
105 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
107 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
110 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
112 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
115 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
116 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
117 load Utils before MyApp.pm
119 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
122 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
124 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
125 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
126 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
127 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
128 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
130 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
133 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
134 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
135 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
138 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
139 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
144 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
147 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
150 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
151 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
152 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
153 the default action creation.
156 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
157 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
158 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
159 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
160 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
161 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
162 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
165 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
167 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
169 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
171 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
174 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
175 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
176 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
177 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
178 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
181 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
182 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
185 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
186 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
187 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
188 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
190 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
193 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
194 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
195 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
196 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
197 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
198 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
199 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
200 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
203 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
204 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
205 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
207 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
208 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
209 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
210 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
213 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
214 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
217 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
218 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
221 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
224 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
225 the content type and content length if available.
227 Refactoring / optimizations:
228 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
229 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
230 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
231 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
232 screen as easy to write.
233 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
234 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
235 in parameter filtering (for example).
236 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
237 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
238 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
239 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
240 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
243 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
244 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
245 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
246 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
248 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
251 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
252 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
254 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
257 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
258 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
260 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
263 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
264 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
265 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
266 which should not be encoded.
267 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
268 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
270 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
271 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
272 any set of args/captures.
274 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
275 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
277 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
281 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
283 - Various minor typo fixes.
286 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
288 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
291 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
292 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
293 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
296 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
297 - Clarify documentation about debug
300 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
301 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
302 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
304 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
307 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
308 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
312 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
313 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
315 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
316 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
317 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
318 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
319 argv key in the options hash.
320 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
321 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
322 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
323 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
325 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
329 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
330 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
331 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
332 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
333 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
335 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
339 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
340 encoding test controller.
342 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
344 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
345 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
346 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
347 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
349 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
350 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
351 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
352 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
353 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
355 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
359 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
360 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
361 less packed with information of no use.
365 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
367 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
369 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
370 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
371 the single character '0'.
372 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
375 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
376 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
377 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
379 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
381 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
382 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
383 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
384 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
385 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
386 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
387 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
388 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
389 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
390 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
391 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
392 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
394 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
395 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
397 Refactoring / cleanups:
398 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
399 (and then skipped) normally.
402 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
404 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
407 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
408 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
409 on the old behaviour.
411 Refactoring / cleanups:
412 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
413 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
415 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
418 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
419 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
420 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
421 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
422 as there is no recommended alternative.
423 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
424 fallback for fully qualified component names.
425 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
426 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
427 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
428 startup, rather than with the first hit.
429 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
430 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
431 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
432 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
433 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
434 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
435 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
436 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
439 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
440 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
441 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
442 deprecated and causes warnings).
443 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
444 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
445 in the correct order.
446 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
448 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
449 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
450 is deprecated (RT#51489)
453 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
454 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
455 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
456 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
457 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
459 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
460 exception classes need to implement.
461 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
462 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
465 Refactoring / cleanups:
466 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
467 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
468 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
469 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
470 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
471 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
472 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
474 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
477 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
478 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
479 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
480 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
482 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
483 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
484 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
487 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
488 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
491 Refactoring / cleanups:
492 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
493 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
494 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
495 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
496 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
498 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
501 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
502 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
503 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
504 now loaded at most once + tests.
505 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
506 is returned to 'actions'.
507 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
508 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
510 Refactoring / cleanups:
511 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
512 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
515 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
516 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
517 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
519 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
522 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
523 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
526 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
529 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
530 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
531 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
533 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
536 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
537 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
538 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
540 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
543 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
544 application class immutable without that option.
545 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
546 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
548 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
549 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
550 (hopefully) future versions.
551 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
552 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
554 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
556 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
557 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
558 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
559 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
560 Request-URI of the Request-Line
562 Refactoring / cleanups:
563 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
564 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
565 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
566 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
567 known issues with 5.8.3.
568 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
569 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
572 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
573 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
574 for the controller namespace
575 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
576 expand_component_module (rjbs)
577 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
578 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
579 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
580 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
582 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
583 frontend port (jshirley)
584 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
588 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
589 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
590 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
591 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
594 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
597 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
598 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
599 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
601 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
602 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
603 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
604 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
605 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
606 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
610 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
611 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when

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

640 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
641 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
643 Refactoring / cleanups:
644 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
645 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
646 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
647 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
649 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
650 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
651 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
653 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
654 again in Catalyst::Test
656 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

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

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

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

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

780 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
782 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
783 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
785 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
786 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
787 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
788 tries to chain to itself
790 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
791 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
792 - Tests for this (radek)

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

812 the restarter process
813 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
814 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
816 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
817 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
818 immutable restart correctly.
820 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
821 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
822 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
823 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

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

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

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

1101 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
1103 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
1104 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1105 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
1106 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
