1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
6 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
8 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
9 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
11 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
13 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
16 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
18 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
21 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
22 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
23 load Utils before MyApp.pm
25 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
28 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
30 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
31 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
32 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
33 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
34 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
36 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
39 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
40 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
41 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
44 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
45 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
50 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
53 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
56 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
57 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
58 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
59 the default action creation.
62 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
63 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
64 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
65 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
66 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
67 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
68 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
71 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
73 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
75 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
77 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
80 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
81 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
82 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
83 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
84 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
87 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
88 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
91 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
92 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
93 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
96 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
99 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
100 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
101 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
102 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
103 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
104 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
105 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
106 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
109 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
110 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
111 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
113 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
114 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
115 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
116 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
119 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
120 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
123 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
124 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
127 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
130 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
131 the content type and content length if available.
133 Refactoring / optimizations:
134 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
135 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
136 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
137 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
138 screen as easy to write.
139 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
140 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
141 in parameter filtering (for example).
142 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
143 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
144 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
145 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
146 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
149 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
150 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
151 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
152 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
154 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
157 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
158 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
160 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
163 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
164 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
166 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
169 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
170 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
171 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
172 which should not be encoded.
173 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
174 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
176 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
177 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
178 any set of args/captures.
180 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
181 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
183 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
187 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
189 - Various minor typo fixes.
192 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
194 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
197 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
198 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
199 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
202 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
203 - Clarify documentation about debug
206 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
207 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
208 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
210 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
213 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
214 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
218 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
219 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
221 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
222 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
223 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
224 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
225 argv key in the options hash.
226 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
227 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
228 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
229 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
231 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
235 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
236 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
237 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
238 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
239 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
241 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
245 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
246 encoding test controller.
248 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
250 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
251 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
252 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
253 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
255 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
256 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
257 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
258 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
259 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
261 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
265 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
266 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
267 less packed with information of no use.
271 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
273 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
275 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
276 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
277 the single character '0'.
278 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
281 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
282 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
283 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
285 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
287 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
288 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
289 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
290 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
291 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
292 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
293 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
294 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
295 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
296 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
297 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
298 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
300 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
301 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
303 Refactoring / cleanups:
304 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
305 (and then skipped) normally.
308 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
310 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
313 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
314 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
315 on the old behaviour.
317 Refactoring / cleanups:
318 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
319 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
321 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
324 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
325 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
326 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
327 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
328 as there is no recommended alternative.
329 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
330 fallback for fully qualified component names.
331 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
332 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
333 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
334 startup, rather than with the first hit.
335 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
336 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
337 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
338 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
339 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
340 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
341 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
342 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
345 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
346 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
347 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
348 deprecated and causes warnings).
349 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
350 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
351 in the correct order.
352 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
354 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
355 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
356 is deprecated (RT#51489)
359 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
360 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
361 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
362 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
363 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
365 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
366 exception classes need to implement.
367 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
368 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
371 Refactoring / cleanups:
372 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
373 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
374 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
375 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
376 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
377 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
378 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
380 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
383 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
384 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
385 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
386 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
388 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
389 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
390 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
393 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
394 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
397 Refactoring / cleanups:
398 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
399 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
400 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
401 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
402 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
404 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
407 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
408 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
409 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
410 now loaded at most once + tests.
411 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
412 is returned to 'actions'.
413 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
414 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
416 Refactoring / cleanups:
417 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
418 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
421 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
422 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
423 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
425 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
428 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
429 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
432 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
435 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
436 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
437 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
439 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
442 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
443 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
444 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
446 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
449 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
450 application class immutable without that option.
451 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
452 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
454 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
455 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
456 (hopefully) future versions.
457 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
458 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
460 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
462 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
463 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
464 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
465 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
466 Request-URI of the Request-Line
468 Refactoring / cleanups:
469 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
470 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
471 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
472 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
473 known issues with 5.8.3.
474 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
475 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
478 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
479 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
480 for the controller namespace
481 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
482 expand_component_module (rjbs)
483 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
484 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
485 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
486 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
488 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
489 frontend port (jshirley)
490 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
494 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
495 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
496 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
497 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
500 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
503 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
504 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
505 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
507 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
508 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
509 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
510 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
511 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
512 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
516 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
517 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
518 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
521 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
524 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
525 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
527 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
528 in some environments.
529 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
530 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
531 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
532 except works correctly with closures.
533 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
534 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
535 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
537 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
538 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
539 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
542 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
543 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
544 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
545 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
546 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
547 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
549 Refactoring / cleanups:
550 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
551 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
552 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
553 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
555 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
556 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
557 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
559 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
560 again in Catalyst::Test
562 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
565 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
566 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
569 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
572 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
573 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
574 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
576 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
579 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
580 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
583 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
584 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
588 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
589 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
590 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
591 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
592 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
594 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
595 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
596 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
597 controller naming. (random)
598 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
599 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
600 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
601 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
602 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
604 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
606 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
607 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
608 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
610 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
611 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
612 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
613 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
614 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
615 to report 'Unknown Error'
616 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
617 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
618 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
619 parse_on_demand is on
621 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
622 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
623 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
624 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
625 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
626 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
627 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
628 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
629 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
631 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
632 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
633 Test::Aggregate is available.
634 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
635 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
636 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
637 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
638 disabling functionality from base controllers.
639 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
640 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
641 incompatibility issues in some cases.

646 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
647 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
648 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
649 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
650 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
651 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
652 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
654 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
655 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
656 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
657 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
658 configuration in your application.
660 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
661 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
662 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
664 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
665 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
667 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
668 has been made private
669 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
670 the request parameters with undef + test
671 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
672 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
674 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
676 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
677 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
678 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
680 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

685 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
686 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
688 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
689 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
691 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
692 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
693 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
694 tries to chain to itself
696 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
697 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
698 - Tests for this (radek)
699 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
700 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
701 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
702 - Tests for this (radek)
703 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
704 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
705 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
706 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
708 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
709 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
711 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
713 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
714 in production versions
715 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
716 the correct metaclass
717 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
718 the restarter process
719 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
720 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
722 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
723 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
724 immutable restart correctly.
726 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
727 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
728 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
729 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

740 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
741 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
742 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
743 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
744 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
745 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
746 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
748 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
749 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
750 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
753 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

787 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
788 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
789 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
790 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

802 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
803 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
804 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

809 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
811 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and

829 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
830 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

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

1010 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1011 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
