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

50 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP. (rafl)
51 - Add $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
52 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
53 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
54 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
55 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
56 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
57 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
58 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
60 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
61 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
62 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
64 - Tests for this (t0m)

77 - Properly report dynamic bind port for the development server (rafl)
79 - Use the way documented by IO::Socket::INET to get the error message
80 after trying to create a listening socket (rafl) (Closes RT#41828)
81 - Don't ignore SIGCHLD while handling requests with the dev server
82 (rafl) (Closes RT#42962)

94 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
95 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
96 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
97 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
98 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
99 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
100 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
101 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

105 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller (t0m)
106 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix

108 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast (t0m)
109 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
110 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast
111 - Remove unused action_container_class attribute from
112 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
113 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
114 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
115 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
116 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
118 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
119 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance (t0m)

122 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server (t0m)
123 - Test for this (t0m)
124 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
125 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
126 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
127 - Tests for this (t0m)

129 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

132 components (Florian Ragwitz)
133 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
134 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
135 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
136 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
137 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their

152 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on (t0m)

154 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
155 the key from the instance hash (t0m)
156 - Use handles on tree attribute of Catalyst::Stats to replace
157 trivial delegation methods (t0m)
158 - Change the following direct hash accesses into attributes:

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

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

321 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)

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