3 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
4 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
5 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
7 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
8 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
9 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
10 - POD formatting fix for Catalyst::Test (Dan Dascalescu)
11 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
12 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
13 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
14 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
15 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)
16 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
17 incompatibility issues in some cases. (t0m)
19 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
20 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
21 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
22 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
23 configuration in your application. (t0m)
24 - Tests for this (t0m)
25 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
26 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
27 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
29 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
30 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
32 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
33 has been made private (t0m)
34 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
35 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
36 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
37 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
39 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
41 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
42 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions (t0m)
43 - Fix all of t0m's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)

49 - Clean up recursion errors
50 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
51 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef

54 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
56 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
57 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
58 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
59 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
61 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
62 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
63 - Tests for this (radek)
64 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
65 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
66 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
67 - Tests for this (radek)
68 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
69 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
70 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
71 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
73 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
74 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
75 spurious warnings (t0m)
76 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
78 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
79 in production versions (t0m)
80 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
81 the correct metaclass (t0m)
82 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
83 the restarter process (t0m)
84 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
85 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
86 - Tests for this (t0m)
87 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
88 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
89 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
90 - Tests for this (t0m)
91 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
92 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)

94 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

103 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP. (rafl)
104 - Add $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
105 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
106 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
107 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
108 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
109 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
110 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
111 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
113 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
114 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

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

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

166 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
167 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)

169 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by

180 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
181 - Tests for this (t0m)
182 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
183 test sync for engines easier (t0m)
184 - Refactor capturing of $app from Catalyst::Controller into
185 Catalyst::Component::ApplicationAttribute for easier reuse in other
186 components (Florian Ragwitz)
187 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
188 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
189 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

193 - Test for this and method modifiers in MyApp (t0m)

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

375 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
377 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
378 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
379 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
