1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
5 to also work in the $c->component method.
6 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
7 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
8 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
10 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
12 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
15 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
16 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
17 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
19 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
21 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
22 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
23 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
25 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
28 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
29 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
30 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
32 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
33 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
37 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
38 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
40 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
41 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
42 developers without changing their application code.
44 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
47 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
48 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
49 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
50 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
51 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
53 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
54 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
56 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
59 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
61 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
62 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
63 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
64 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
65 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
66 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
69 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
70 the Content-Length header appropriately)
71 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
72 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
73 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
74 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
75 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
76 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
78 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
79 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
80 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
81 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
82 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
83 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
84 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
85 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
88 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
89 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
91 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
94 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
95 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
99 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
100 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
102 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
105 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
107 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
108 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
110 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
112 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
115 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
117 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
120 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
121 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
122 load Utils before MyApp.pm
124 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
127 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
129 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
130 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
131 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
132 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
133 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
135 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
138 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
139 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
140 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
143 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
144 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
149 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
152 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
155 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
156 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
157 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
158 the default action creation.
161 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
162 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
163 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
164 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
165 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
166 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
167 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
170 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
172 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
174 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
176 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
179 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
180 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
181 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
182 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
183 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
186 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
187 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
190 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
191 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
192 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
193 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
195 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
198 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
199 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
200 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
201 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
202 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
203 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
204 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
205 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
208 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
209 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
210 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
212 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
213 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
214 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
215 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
218 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
219 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
222 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
223 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
226 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
229 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
230 the content type and content length if available.
232 Refactoring / optimizations:
233 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
234 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
235 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
236 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
237 screen as easy to write.
238 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
239 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
240 in parameter filtering (for example).
241 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
242 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
243 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
244 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
245 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
248 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
249 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
250 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
251 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
253 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
256 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
257 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
259 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
262 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
263 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
265 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
268 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
269 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
270 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
271 which should not be encoded.
272 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
273 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
275 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
276 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
277 any set of args/captures.
279 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
280 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
282 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
286 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
288 - Various minor typo fixes.
291 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
293 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
296 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
297 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
298 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
301 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
302 - Clarify documentation about debug
305 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
306 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
307 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
309 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
312 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
313 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
317 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
318 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
320 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
321 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
322 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
323 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
324 argv key in the options hash.
325 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
326 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
327 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
328 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
330 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
334 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
335 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
336 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
337 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
338 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
340 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
344 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
345 encoding test controller.
347 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
349 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
350 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
351 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
352 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
354 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
355 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
356 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
357 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
358 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
360 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
364 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
365 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
366 less packed with information of no use.
370 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
372 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
374 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
375 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
376 the single character '0'.
377 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
380 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
381 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
382 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
384 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
386 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
387 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
388 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
389 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
390 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
391 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
392 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
393 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
394 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
395 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
396 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
397 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
399 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
400 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
402 Refactoring / cleanups:
403 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
404 (and then skipped) normally.
407 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
409 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
412 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
413 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
414 on the old behaviour.
416 Refactoring / cleanups:
417 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
418 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
420 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
423 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
424 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
425 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
426 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
427 as there is no recommended alternative.
428 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
429 fallback for fully qualified component names.
430 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
431 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
432 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
433 startup, rather than with the first hit.
434 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
435 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
436 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
437 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
438 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
439 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
440 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
441 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
444 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
445 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
446 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
447 deprecated and causes warnings).
448 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
449 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
450 in the correct order.
451 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
453 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
454 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
455 is deprecated (RT#51489)
458 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
459 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
460 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
461 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
462 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
464 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
465 exception classes need to implement.
466 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
467 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
470 Refactoring / cleanups:
471 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
472 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
473 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
474 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
475 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
476 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
477 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
479 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
482 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
483 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
484 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
485 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
487 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
488 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
489 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
492 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
493 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
496 Refactoring / cleanups:
497 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
498 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
499 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
500 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
501 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
503 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
506 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
507 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
508 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
509 now loaded at most once + tests.
510 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
511 is returned to 'actions'.
512 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
513 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
515 Refactoring / cleanups:
516 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
517 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
520 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
521 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
522 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
524 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
527 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
528 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
531 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
534 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
535 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
536 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
538 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
541 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
542 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
543 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
545 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
548 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
549 application class immutable without that option.
550 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
551 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
553 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
554 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
555 (hopefully) future versions.
556 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
557 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
559 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
561 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
562 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
563 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
564 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
565 Request-URI of the Request-Line
567 Refactoring / cleanups:
568 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
569 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
570 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
571 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
572 known issues with 5.8.3.
573 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
574 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
577 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
578 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
579 for the controller namespace
580 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
581 expand_component_module (rjbs)
582 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
583 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
584 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
585 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
587 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
588 frontend port (jshirley)
589 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
593 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
594 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
595 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
596 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
599 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
602 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
603 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
604 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
606 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
607 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
608 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
609 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
610 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
611 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
615 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
616 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
617 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
620 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
623 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
624 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
626 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
627 in some environments.
628 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
629 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
630 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
631 except works correctly with closures.
632 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
633 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
634 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
636 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
637 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
638 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
641 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
642 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
643 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
644 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
645 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
646 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
648 Refactoring / cleanups:
649 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
650 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
651 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
652 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
654 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
655 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
656 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
658 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
659 again in Catalyst::Test
661 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00

671 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
672 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
673 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
675 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
678 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
679 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
682 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
683 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
687 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

691 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
693 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23

712 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
713 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
714 to report 'Unknown Error'
715 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
716 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

747 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
748 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
749 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
750 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
751 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
753 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
754 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
755 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

760 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
761 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
763 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple

788 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
790 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
791 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
792 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
793 tries to chain to itself
795 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
796 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
797 - Tests for this (radek)
798 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
799 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
800 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
801 - Tests for this (radek)
802 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
803 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

813 in production versions
814 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
815 the correct metaclass
816 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
817 the restarter process
818 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
819 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
821 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
822 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
823 immutable restart correctly.
825 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
826 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
827 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
828 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

841 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
842 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
843 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
844 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
845 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
847 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
848 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

887 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
888 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
889 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

905 method on the requests HTTP::Body instance
907 - Fix calling $c->req->body from inside an overridden prepare_action
908 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server

934 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
935 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
936 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
937 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
938 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1060 throw warnings for two reasons:
1061 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1062 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1106 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
1108 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
1109 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1110 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
1111 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
