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

60 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
61 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
62 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
63 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
64 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
66 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
67 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

102 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra

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

115 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast (t0m)
116 - Stop using MooseX::Adopt::Class::Accessor::Fast by default, to stop
117 breaking other packages which use Class::Accessor::Fast

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

133 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
134 - Tests for this (t0m)

139 components (Florian Ragwitz)
140 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
141 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
142 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

161 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
162 the key from the instance hash (t0m)

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