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

- Add $c->uri_for_action method. (hdp)
- Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead. (rafl)
- Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected. (rafl)
- Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
syntax. (rafl/hdp)

method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server (t0m)

- Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
test sync for engines easier (t0m)

components (Florian Ragwitz)
- Make the test suites YAML dependency optional (Florian Ragwitz)

- Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
for the setup_log method, which previously had none.

5.7099_01 2008-06-25 22:36:00
- Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
throw warnings for two reasons:
1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
-- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
instead
2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
method with a regex as the argument

contents of the stash

shell errors. (Aristotle Pagaltzis, Chisel Wright)

(Emanuele Zeppieri)

'Resource temporarily unavailable'.

in SSL mode.

would not be sent properly.
5.7007 2007-03-13 14:18:00
- Many performance improvements by not using URI.pm:
* $c->uri_for (approx. 8x faster)
* $c->engine->prepare_path (approx. 27x faster)
