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

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

44 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
45 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
46 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
47 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

49 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
50 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)

66 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
67 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
68 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
69 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
70 configuration in your application. (t0m)
71 - Tests for this (t0m)
72 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
73 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
74 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
76 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
77 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
79 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
80 has been made private (t0m)
81 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
82 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
83 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
84 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
86 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component

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

117 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
118 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
120 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
121 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
122 spurious warnings (t0m)
123 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
124 - Test for this (t0m)
125 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
126 in production versions (t0m)

133 - Tests for this (t0m)
134 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
135 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
136 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
137 - Tests for this (t0m)
138 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
139 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
140 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

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

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

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

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

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

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

422 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
424 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
425 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
426 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
427 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
