15 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
17 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues (t0m)
19 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
20 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
21 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning. (rafl)
22 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
23 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
24 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast. (rafl)
25 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
26 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
27 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

30 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
31 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
32 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
33 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
34 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
35 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
36 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)

50 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
52 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
53 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
54 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
55 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
56 configuration in your application. (t0m)
57 - Tests for this (t0m)
58 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
59 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
60 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
62 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
63 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)

66 has been made private (t0m)
67 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
68 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
69 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
70 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width

87 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
89 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
90 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
91 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
92 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
94 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
95 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
96 - Tests for this (radek)

107 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
108 spurious warnings (t0m)
109 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
110 - Test for this (t0m)
111 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
112 in production versions (t0m)

114 the correct metaclass (t0m)
115 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
116 the restarter process (t0m)
117 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
118 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
119 - Tests for this (t0m)
120 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
121 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
122 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
123 - Tests for this (t0m)
124 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
125 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
126 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

138 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
139 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

141 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
142 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
143 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
144 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
146 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
147 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
148 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

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

200 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
201 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
202 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
203 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

221 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
222 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
223 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

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

408 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
410 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
411 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
412 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
