Changes for version 5.90090 - 2014-04-29

  • Updated some documention in Catalyst::Request::Upload to clarify behavior that RT ticket reported as confusing or unexpected
  • Merged all changes from 5.90089_XXX development cycle.
  • removed a mistaken use of Test::Most, which is not a core Catalyst dependency. Used Test::More instead.

Changes for version 5.90089_004 - 2015-04-28

  • Added swanky github badges.
  • Reverted a change to how the stats engine is setup that was incorrect.
  • New application setup hook 'config_for' which allows one to get the canonical application configuration for a controller, view or model, or a plugin. Can also be used to override and adapt what configuration is retrieved.

Changes for version 5.90089_003 - 2015-04-27

  • Fixed an issue where a delayed controller that did ACCEPT_CONTEXT would raise an error when registering its actions.
  • Updated some documentation around route matching.
  • refactored the setup of injected components to allow you to hook into the injection and do custom injection types.

Changes for version 5.90089_002 - 2015-04-17

  • Changed the way we check for presence of Type::Tiny in a test case to be more explicit in the version requirement. Hopefully a fix for reported test fail.
  • When declaring type constraints in Args and CaptureArgs, if you want to use a Moose builtin type (or a custom stringy type that you've already defined and associated with the Moose::TypeRegistry) you must now quote the type name. This is to clearly disambiguate between Moose stringy types and imported types.
  • Additional changes to type constraint detection to between determine when a type constraint for reference types have a measured number of arguments or not. clarify restriction on reference type constraints.
  • Several bugs with type constraints and uri_for squashed. More test cases around all the argument type constraints to tighten scope of action.
  • NEW FEATURE: New method in Catalyst::Utils 'inject_component', which is a core version of the previously external addon 'CatalystX::InjectComponent'. You should start to convert your existing code which uses the stand alone version, since going forward only the core version will be supported. Also the core version in Catalyst::Utils has an additional feature to compose roles into the injected component.
  • NEW FEATURE: Concepts from 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' have been moved to core so we now have the follow application attributes 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits' which allow you to compose traits for these core Catalyst classes without needing to create subclasses. So in general any request or response trait on CPAN that used 'CatalystX::RoleApplicator' should now just work with this core feature. Note that can also set thse roles via new configuration keys, 'request_class_traits', 'response_class_traits' and 'stats_class_traits'. If you use both configuration and application class methods, they are combined.
  • NEW FEATURE: Core concepts from 'CatalystX::ComponentsFromConfig'. You can now setup components directly from configuration. This could save you some effort and creating 'empty' base classes in your Model/View and Controller directories. This feature is currently limited in that you can only configure components that are 'true' Catalyst components (but you may use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor to proxy stand alone classes...).
  • Only create a stats object if you are using stats. This is a minor performance optimization, but there's a small chance it is a breaking change, so please report any stats related issues.
  • Added a developer mode warning if you call a component with arguments that does not expect arguments (for example calling $c->model('Foo', 1,2,3,4) where Myapp::Model::Foo does not ACCEPT_CONTEXT. Only components that ACCEPT_CONTEXT do anything with passed arguments in $c->controller/view/model.
  • Change the way components are setup so that you can now rely on all components when setting up a component. Previously application scoped components could not reliably use an existing application scoped component as a dependecy for initialization.

Changes for version 5.90089_001 - 2015-03-26

  • New development branch synched with 5.90085.
  • NEW FEATURE: Type Constraints on Args/CaptureArgs. Allows you to declare a Moose, MooseX::Types or Type::Tiny named constraint on your Arg or CaptureArg.
  • When using $c->uri_for (or the derived $c->uri_for_action) and the target action has type constrainted args (or captures), verify that the proposed URL matches the defined args. In general $c->uri_for will be a bit more noisy if the supplied arguments are not correct.
  • New top level document on Route matching. (Catalyst::RouteMatching). This document is still in development, but is worth review and comments.
