3 - Add delta documentation
4 - Clean up recursion errors
5 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
6 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
8 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
9 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
11 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
12 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
13 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
14 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
16 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
17 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
18 - Tests for this (radek)
19 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
20 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
21 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
22 - Tests for this (radek)
23 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
24 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
25 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
26 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
28 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
29 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
30 spurious warnings (t0m)
31 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
33 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
34 in production versions (t0m)
35 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
36 the correct metaclass (t0m)
37 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
38 the restarter process (t0m)
39 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
40 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
41 - Tests for this (t0m)
42 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
43 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
44 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
45 - Tests for this (t0m)
46 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
47 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
48 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
49 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
50 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test (rafl)
51 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment (rafl)

62 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
63 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
64 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
65 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
66 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
68 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
69 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
70 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

104 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
105 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

107 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
108 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
109 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
110 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

114 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller (t0m)
115 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
116 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache (t0m)
117 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast (t0m)
118 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
119 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
120 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
121 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
122 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
123 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
124 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
125 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

135 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
136 - Tests for this (t0m)
137 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
138 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

141 components (Florian Ragwitz)
142 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
143 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
144 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

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

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

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

333 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
