5 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
6 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
7 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
8 controller naming. (random)
9 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
10 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78 (t0m)
11 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
12 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741 (t0m)
13 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
15 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as

25 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
26 to report 'Unknown Error' (t0m)
27 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
28 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA (t0m)
29 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
30 parse_on_demand is on (t0m)
32 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
33 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
34 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning. (rafl)
35 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
36 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
37 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast. (rafl)
38 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
39 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
40 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no

44 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
45 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
46 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

49 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)

65 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
66 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
67 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
68 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
69 configuration in your application. (t0m)
70 - Tests for this (t0m)

72 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

75 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
76 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
78 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
79 has been made private (t0m)
80 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
81 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
82 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
83 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
85 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component

102 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
103 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
104 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
105 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
107 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
108 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
109 - Tests for this (radek)

120 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
121 spurious warnings (t0m)
122 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
123 - Test for this (t0m)
124 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
125 in production versions (t0m)

132 - Tests for this (t0m)
133 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
134 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
135 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
136 - Tests for this (t0m)
137 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
138 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)

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

154 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
155 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
156 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
157 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
159 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
160 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

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

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

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

297 for example Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI (t0m)
298 - Test for this (caelum)
299 - Compose the MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast role to

374 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
375 throw warnings for two reasons:
376 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned

424 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
425 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
426 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
