3 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
4 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
5 warning on recent Moose versions.
6 - Add delta documentation
7 - Clean up recursion errors
8 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
9 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
11 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
12 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended (t0m)
14 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
15 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
16 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
17 tries to chain to itself (t0m)
19 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
20 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with (t0m)
21 - Tests for this (radek)
22 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
23 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
24 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly (t0m)
25 - Tests for this (radek)
26 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
27 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
28 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
29 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
31 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
32 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
33 spurious warnings (t0m)
34 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme (t0m)
36 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
37 in production versions (t0m)
38 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
39 the correct metaclass (t0m)
40 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
41 the restarter process (t0m)
42 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
43 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed (t0m)
44 - Tests for this (t0m)
45 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
46 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
47 immutable restart correctly. (t0m)
48 - Tests for this (t0m)
49 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
50 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm (t0m)
51 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically
52 (Simon Bertrang) (Closes RT#41153)
53 - Don't require C3 for the MRO test (rafl)
54 - Bump MX::Emulate::CAF prereq to support list assignment (rafl)

63 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)

65 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
66 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
67 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
68 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
69 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
71 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
72 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
73 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

107 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra

110 it isn't a hashref (t0m)
111 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
112 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
113 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL) (t0m)

117 - Use compile time extends in Catalyst::Controller (t0m)
118 - Make Catalyst::Request::uploads attribute non-lazy, to fix
119 test for Catalyst-Engine-Apache (t0m)
120 - Bump version of MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast (t0m)

125 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors (t0m)
126 - Add backwards compatibility alias methods for private attributes on
127 Catalyst::Dispatcher which used to be public. Needed by

138 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server. (t0m)
139 - Tests for this (t0m)

144 components (Florian Ragwitz)
145 - Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)
146 - Make debug output show class name for the engine and dispatcher
147 rather than the stringified ref. (t0m)

166 attributes, and use if from ::Engine rather than deleting
167 the key from the instance hash (t0m)

286 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
287 throw warnings for two reasons:
288 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
289 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

292 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
293 method with a regex as the argument

333 shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)
335 5.7011 2007-10-18 20:40:00
336 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
337 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
338 - Fixed t/optional_http-server-restart.t so it actually tests
