4 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741 (t0m)
5 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
8 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
9 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
10 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning. (rafl)
11 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
12 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
13 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast. (rafl)
14 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
15 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
16 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
17 parents at all. (rafl)
18 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
19 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
20 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
21 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
22 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
23 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
24 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
25 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)
26 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version (t0m)
27 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass

38 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
39 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
41 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
42 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
43 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
44 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
45 configuration in your application. (t0m)
46 - Tests for this (t0m)
47 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
48 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
49 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
51 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
52 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
54 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
55 has been made private (t0m)
56 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
57 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
58 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
59 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
61 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
63 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying

73 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
75 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
76 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
78 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
79 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
80 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
81 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
83 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
84 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
85 - Tests for this (radek)
86 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
87 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
88 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
89 - Tests for this (radek)
90 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
91 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
92 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
93 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
95 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own

97 spurious warnings (t0m)
98 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
100 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
101 in production versions (t0m)

103 the correct metaclass (t0m)
104 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
105 the restarter process (t0m)
106 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
107 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
108 - Tests for this (t0m)
109 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
110 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
111 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
112 - Tests for this (t0m)
113 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
114 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
115 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
116 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

124 - Make Catalyst::ClassData compatible with the latest Class::MOP::Class
125 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP. (rafl)
126 - Add $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
127 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
128 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
129 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
130 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
131 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
132 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
133 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
135 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
136 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
137 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
139 - Tests for this (t0m)
140 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns. (t0m)

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

188 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
189 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
190 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
191 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
192 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL
194 - Fix return value of $c->req->body, which delegates to the body
195 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance (t0m)
196 - Test for this (t0m)

208 components (Florian Ragwitz)

211 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

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

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

397 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
399 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
400 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
401 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
