1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
4 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning. (rafl)
5 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
6 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
7 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast. (rafl)
8 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
9 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
10 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
11 parents at all. (rafl)
12 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
13 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
14 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
15 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
16 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
17 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
18 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
19 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)
20 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version (t0m)
21 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
22 incompatibility issues in some cases. (t0m)
23 - Additional tests for setup_stats method. (t0m)
24 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive. (t0m)
25 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them (t0m)
26 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
27 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)

29 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin (t0m)

31 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
32 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
33 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
35 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
36 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
37 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
38 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
39 configuration in your application. (t0m)
40 - Tests for this (t0m)
41 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
42 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
43 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
45 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
46 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
48 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
49 has been made private (t0m)
50 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
51 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
52 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
53 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
55 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
57 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
58 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions (t0m)

66 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
67 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
69 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
70 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
72 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
73 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
74 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
75 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
77 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
78 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
79 - Tests for this (radek)
80 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
81 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
82 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
83 - Tests for this (radek)
84 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
85 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
86 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
87 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
89 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
90 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
91 spurious warnings (t0m)
92 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
94 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
95 in production versions (t0m)
96 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
97 the correct metaclass (t0m)
98 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
99 the restarter process (t0m)
100 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
101 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
102 - Tests for this (t0m)
103 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
104 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
105 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
106 - Tests for this (t0m)
107 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
108 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
109 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
110 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

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

163 keep-alive requests. (andyg)
164 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
165 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
166 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
167 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
168 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
169 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
170 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
171 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

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

196 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)

199 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

202 components (Florian Ragwitz)
203 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
204 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
205 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
206 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup
207 method is called, fixing issues with plugins which have their
208 own new methods by inlining a constructor on MyApp (t0m)
209 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp (t0m)
210 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
211 to return undef (t0m)

225 the key from the instance hash (t0m)

344 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
345 throw warnings for two reasons:
346 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
347 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
349 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
350 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
351 method with a regex as the argument

391 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
393 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
394 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
395 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
