13 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
14 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs (t0m)
15 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
18 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
19 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
20 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning. (rafl)
21 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
22 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
23 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast. (rafl)
24 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
25 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
26 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

29 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
30 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
31 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
32 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
33 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
34 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
35 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)

49 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
51 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
52 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
53 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
54 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
55 configuration in your application. (t0m)
56 - Tests for this (t0m)
57 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
58 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
59 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
61 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
62 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)

65 has been made private (t0m)
66 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
67 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
68 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
69 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width

83 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef

86 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
88 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
89 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
90 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
91 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
93 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
94 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
95 - Tests for this (radek)

101 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
102 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
103 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to

106 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
107 spurious warnings (t0m)
108 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
109 - Test for this (t0m)
110 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
111 in production versions (t0m)

113 the correct metaclass (t0m)
114 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
115 the restarter process (t0m)
116 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
117 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
118 - Tests for this (t0m)
119 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
120 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
121 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
122 - Tests for this (t0m)
123 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
124 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
125 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

137 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
138 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

140 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
141 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
142 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
143 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
145 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
146 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
147 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

181 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
182 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
183 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
184 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
185 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
186 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
187 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

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

201 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
202 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

220 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
221 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
222 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

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

407 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
409 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
410 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
411 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
