3 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
4 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange (t0m)
5 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
7 - Turn of test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
8 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
9 Test::Aggregate is available. (rafl)
10 - POD formatting fix for Catalyst::Test (Dan Dascalescu)
11 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
12 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
13 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
14 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
15 disabling functionality from base controllers. (t0m)
16 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version (t0m)
17 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
18 incompatibility issues in some cases. (t0m)

21 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them (t0m)
23 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
24 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
25 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
26 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
27 configuration in your application. (t0m)
28 - Tests for this (t0m)
29 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
30 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
31 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
33 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
34 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class (t0m)
36 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
37 has been made private (t0m)
38 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
39 the request parameters with undef + test (t0m)
40 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
41 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
43 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
45 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
46 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions (t0m)
47 - Fix all of t0m's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)

52 - Add delta documentation
53 - Clean up recursion errors
54 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
55 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
57 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
58 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
60 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
61 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
62 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
63 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
65 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
66 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
67 - Tests for this (radek)
68 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
69 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
70 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
71 - Tests for this (radek)
72 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
73 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
74 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
75 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
77 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
78 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
79 spurious warnings (t0m)
80 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
82 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
83 in production versions (t0m)
84 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
85 the correct metaclass (t0m)
86 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
87 the restarter process (t0m)
88 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
89 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
90 - Tests for this (t0m)
91 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
92 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
93 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
94 - Tests for this (t0m)
95 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
96 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
97 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
98 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
99 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test (rafl)
100 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment (rafl)

107 changes. Also depend on the latest Class::MOP. (rafl)
108 - Add $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
109 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
110 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
111 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
112 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
113 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
114 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
115 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
117 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
118 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
119 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

151 keep-alive requests. (andyg)
152 - Fixes for FastCGI with IIS 6.0 (janus)
153 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
154 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter

156 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
157 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
158 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
159 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)
160 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,
161 but stopped as the 2nd parameter can be an options hash now (t0m)

170 Catalyst::Dispatcher (t0m)
171 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)

173 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by
174 Catalyst::Plugin::Server and Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL

183 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
184 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
185 - Tests for this (t0m)
186 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
187 test sync for engines easier (t0m)

190 components (Florian Ragwitz)
191 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
192 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
193 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)
194 - Make MyApp immutable at the end of the scope after the setup

332 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
333 throw warnings for two reasons:
334 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
335 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
337 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
338 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
339 method with a regex as the argument

379 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)

382 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
383 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
