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

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

93 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
94 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

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

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

121 - Test for this (t0m)
122 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
123 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
124 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)

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

153 the key from the instance hash (t0m)

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

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

322 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
