1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
6 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
8 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
11 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
12 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
13 load Utils before MyApp.pm
15 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
18 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
20 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
21 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
22 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
23 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
24 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
26 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
29 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
30 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
31 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
34 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
35 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
40 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
43 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
46 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
47 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
48 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
49 the default action creation.
52 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
53 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
54 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
55 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
56 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
57 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
58 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
61 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
63 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
65 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
67 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
70 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
71 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
72 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
73 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
74 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
77 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
78 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
81 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
82 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
83 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
86 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
89 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
90 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
91 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
92 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
93 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
94 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
95 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
96 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
99 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
100 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
101 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
103 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
104 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
105 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
106 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
109 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
110 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
113 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
114 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
117 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
120 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
121 the content type and content length if available.
123 Refactoring / optimizations:
124 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
125 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
126 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
127 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
128 screen as easy to write.
129 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
130 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
131 in parameter filtering (for example).
132 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
133 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
134 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
135 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
136 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
139 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
140 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
141 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
142 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
144 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
147 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
148 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
150 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
153 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
154 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
156 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
159 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
160 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
161 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
162 which should not be encoded.
163 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
164 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
166 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
167 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
168 any set of args/captures.
170 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
171 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
173 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
177 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
179 - Various minor typo fixes.
182 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
184 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
187 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
188 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
189 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
192 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
193 - Clarify documentation about debug
196 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
197 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
198 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
200 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
203 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
204 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
208 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
209 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
211 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
212 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
213 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
214 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
215 argv key in the options hash.
216 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
217 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
218 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
219 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
221 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
225 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
226 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
227 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
228 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
229 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
231 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
235 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
236 encoding test controller.
238 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
240 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
241 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
242 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
243 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
245 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
246 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
247 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
248 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
249 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
251 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
255 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
256 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
257 less packed with information of no use.
261 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
263 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
265 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
266 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
267 the single character '0'.
268 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
271 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
272 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
273 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
275 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
277 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
278 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
279 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
280 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
281 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
282 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
283 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
284 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
285 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
286 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
287 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
288 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
290 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
291 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
293 Refactoring / cleanups:
294 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
295 (and then skipped) normally.
298 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
300 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
303 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
304 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
305 on the old behaviour.
307 Refactoring / cleanups:
308 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
309 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
311 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
314 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
315 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
316 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
317 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
318 as there is no recommended alternative.
319 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
320 fallback for fully qualified component names.
321 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
322 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
323 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
324 startup, rather than with the first hit.
325 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
326 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
327 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
328 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
329 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
330 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
331 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
332 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
335 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
336 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
337 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
338 deprecated and causes warnings).
339 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
340 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
341 in the correct order.
342 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
344 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
345 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
346 is deprecated (RT#51489)
349 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
350 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
351 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
352 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
353 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
355 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
356 exception classes need to implement.
357 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
358 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
361 Refactoring / cleanups:
362 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
363 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
364 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
365 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
366 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
367 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
368 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
370 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
373 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
374 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
375 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
376 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
378 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
379 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
380 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
383 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
384 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
387 Refactoring / cleanups:
388 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
389 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
390 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
391 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
392 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
394 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
397 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
398 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
399 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
400 now loaded at most once + tests.
401 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
402 is returned to 'actions'.
403 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
404 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
406 Refactoring / cleanups:
407 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
408 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
411 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
412 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
413 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
415 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
418 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
419 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
422 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
425 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
426 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
427 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
429 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
432 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
433 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
434 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
436 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
439 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
440 application class immutable without that option.
441 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
442 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
444 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
445 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
446 (hopefully) future versions.
447 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
448 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
450 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
452 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
453 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
454 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
455 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
456 Request-URI of the Request-Line
458 Refactoring / cleanups:
459 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
460 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
461 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
462 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
463 known issues with 5.8.3.
464 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
465 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
468 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
469 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
470 for the controller namespace
471 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
472 expand_component_module (rjbs)
473 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
474 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
475 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
476 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
478 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
479 frontend port (jshirley)
480 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
484 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
485 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
486 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
487 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
490 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
493 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
494 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
495 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
497 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
498 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
499 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
500 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
501 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
502 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
506 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
507 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
508 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
511 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
514 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
515 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
517 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
518 in some environments.
519 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
520 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
521 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
522 except works correctly with closures.
523 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
524 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
525 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
527 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
528 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
529 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
532 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
533 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
534 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
535 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
536 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
537 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
539 Refactoring / cleanups:
540 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
541 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
542 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
543 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
545 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
546 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
547 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
549 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
550 again in Catalyst::Test
552 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
555 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
556 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
559 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
562 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
563 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
564 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
566 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
569 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
570 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
573 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
574 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
578 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
579 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
580 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
581 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
582 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
584 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
585 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
586 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
587 controller naming. (random)
588 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
589 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
590 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
591 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
592 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
594 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
596 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
597 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
598 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
600 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
601 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
602 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
603 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
604 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
605 to report 'Unknown Error'
606 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
607 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
608 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
609 parse_on_demand is on

612 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
613 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
614 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
615 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
616 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
617 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
618 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
619 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
621 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
622 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
623 Test::Aggregate is available.
624 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
625 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
626 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
627 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
628 disabling functionality from base controllers.

638 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
639 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
640 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
641 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
642 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
644 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
645 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
646 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
647 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
648 configuration in your application.
650 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
651 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
652 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
654 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
655 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class

660 the request parameters with undef + test
661 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
662 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
664 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
666 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
667 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions

676 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
678 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
679 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
681 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
682 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
683 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
684 tries to chain to itself
686 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
687 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
688 - Tests for this (radek)
689 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
690 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
691 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
692 - Tests for this (radek)
693 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
694 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
695 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
696 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
698 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
699 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
701 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
703 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
704 in production versions
705 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
706 the correct metaclass
707 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
708 the restarter process
709 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
710 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
712 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
713 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
714 immutable restart correctly.
716 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
717 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
718 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
719 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)

730 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
731 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
732 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
733 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
734 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
735 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
736 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
738 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
739 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
740 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
743 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

777 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
778 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
779 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
780 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

819 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
820 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
821 die, as it didn't in 5.70

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