Changes for version 5.80014 - 2009-11-21
- Bug fixes:
- Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
- Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings as there is no recommended alternative.
- Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex fallback for fully qualified component names.
- Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
- Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application startup, rather than with the first hit.
- Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
- Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
- Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
- Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues) passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now correctly uri encoded to %2F.
- Documentation:
- Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
- Document all top level application configuration parameters.
- Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is deprecated and causes warnings).
- Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
- Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments in the correct order.
- Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar context.
- Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
- Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter is deprecated (RT#51489)
- New features:
- Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
- Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
- Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built distributions
- Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface exception classes need to implement.
- Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes use it.
- Refactoring / cleanups:
- Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
- Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
- Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
