10 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
11 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
12 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
13 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
14 configuration in your application. (t0m)
15 - Tests for this (t0m)
16 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
17 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

40 - Clean up recursion errors
41 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
42 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef

47 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
48 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
49 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
50 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
52 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
53 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
54 - Tests for this (radek)
55 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
56 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
57 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
58 - Tests for this (radek)
59 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
60 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
61 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
62 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
64 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
65 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
66 spurious warnings (t0m)
67 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
69 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
70 in production versions (t0m)

72 the correct metaclass (t0m)
73 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
74 the restarter process (t0m)
75 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
76 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
77 - Tests for this (t0m)
78 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
79 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
80 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
81 - Tests for this (t0m)
82 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises

96 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
97 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
98 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
99 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
100 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
101 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
102 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
104 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
105 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
106 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
108 - Tests for this (t0m)

138 keep-alive requests. (andyg)
139 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
140 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
141 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

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

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

160 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by

171 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
172 - Tests for this (t0m)

174 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

177 components (Florian Ragwitz)
178 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)

319 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
320 throw warnings for two reasons:
321 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned

369 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
