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

59 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
60 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)

62 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
63 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
65 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
66 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

105 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
106 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
107 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

114 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast (t0m)
115 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop

118 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
119 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
120 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
121 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by

140 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
141 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

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

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