This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst-Devel.

1.33 2011-03-24 15:10:00

• Fix a regression introduced in 1.32 that caused Catalyst::Restarter to not work at all.

1.32 2011-03-22 09:17:00

• Fix RT#65907: missing build require: Test::Exception
• Fix RT#57019: Fix bundling of File::Copy::Recursive in inc/ by Module::Install::Catalyst

1.31 2011-01-20 01:08:00

• Fix for copying generated files into installed apps + tests to ensure it keeps working. abraxxa++
• Make Pod tests author only

1.30 2011-01-11 23:54:00

• Increased Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader dependency to 0.30
• Include File::Copy::Recursive in inc/ when building a dist of an application.

1.29 2011-01-11 23:51:00

• Add documentation for the --proc_title option to the generated fastcgi scripts
• Don't bother with the BEGIN { use_ok dance for created tests
  • the test will fail to compile (and ergo fail) using just use, and that's less typing (and less copy-pasting)
• Split method for creating tests into multiple methods to allow subclasses to override the generation of some tests.
• Allow the author to be defined in the call to ->new to help things which want to call Catalyst::Helper programatically.
• Remove $VERSION = eval $VERSION handwave in generated code as:
  • Gives a perl critic violation.
  • If you're shipping a dev release, best practice is you should do it by renaming the tarball, rather than having a in the VERSION.
• Allow catalyst.pl . to work for already created applications when in the application's directory.
• Note that plugin order is important in the generated skeleton.
• Don't pollute M::I plugin detector with GetOptions symbol from GetOpt::Long
• Fix typo in share/script/myappserver.pl.tt (RT #58475)

1.28 2010-06-16 02:43:00

• Fix generated Pod tests so that the first check is if the TEST_POD environment variable is set. (RT#58433)
• Fix link in the Pod for Catalyst::Restarter (RT#57362)
• Fix the pod-coverage version required by the generated app tests.
• Fix the restarter to only act upon file events (and ergo ignore the creation of empty directories).

1.27 2010-02-23 10:44:20

• Add the catalyst_par_options option.
• Change the version of Catalyst required to 5.80015 as retarded packaging systems consider 5.8001402 greater than 5.80015.

1.26 2010-01-12 03:55:50

• Depend on Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple 0.28 to avoid failures caused by a bug in 0.27.

1.25 2010-01-02 16:13:06

• Update repository metadata after moving from svn to git.

1.24 2009-12-07 23:23:36

• File name for .yml file generated is now correct.
• Fixes for consistent spacing in generated application template.
• Stop requiring generated test files to have a true return value.
• Win32 compatibility fixes:
  1. hardcoded 'make' replaced by: $Config{make}||'make'
  2. testing executable flags skipped on Win32
• Fix pod to match option names on Catalyst::Script::Server

1.23 2009-12-06 12:22:12

• Fix generated app test to be multi-platform and fix issue with case for generated files. (Dave Rolsky)
• Fix Test::More version dependency so that subtest works correctly.
• Add a $VERSION to Catalyst::Helper as PAUSE used to pull $VERSION (i.e. 0.01) out of the app template section and use that, so we now can't not have a version number here or it makes pause unhappy.

1.22 2009-12-05 07:23:00

• Use MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast so that options supplied to ->new are put into the hash even if attributes do not exist for them. This fixes -force recreating application scripts.

1.21_01 2009-12-01 03:34:23

• Update generated scripts to use the new Catalyst::Script:: classes available from Catalyst 5.80014_02. Note: Any applications whos scripts are upgraded will need to depend on at least this version of Catalyst.
• Change application templates from being inlined in Catalyst::Helper to being in a share dir making the templates much easier to maintain and patch.
• Generate new applications with Moose and Moose style components.
• Remove dependency on parent.pm as this has been removed from the generated application template.
• Turn off deprecated regex component lookup in the config of new applications.
• Test application generation and helper classes properly.
• Change tests in generated application and components to use the new done_testing feature rather than having test plans.
• Update required versions of dependencies to ensure the installed versions won't cause deprecation warnings with the latest Catalyst.
• Exclude root/, t/ and hidden dirs from file change monitoring when using File::ChangeNotify 0.08+. (dew)
• Updated POD of Module/Install/Catalyst.pm (Karsten Heymann)
• Added debian package building temp files to the list of ignored files/directories and fix ignore for subversion checkouts. (Karsten Heymann)

1.21 2009-10-18 18:33:33

• The Restarter code caused stack traces for certain types of errors to grow longer and longer with every restart. (Dave Rolsky)
• Fixed an issue with the Restarter in Win32 where @INC didn't get passed along when restarting.

1.20 2009-08-11 23:30:30

• Bump required File::ChangeNotify version to 0.07. Closes RT#48610.

1.19 2009-06-29 00:36:50

• Update Module::Install to a version that doesn't screw up auto_install anymore (Closes: RT#45784).
• Generate Makefile.PLs with unix-paths, even on windows (Closes: RT#46059).

1.18 2009-06-10 17:43:12

• The forking restarter was not waiting for the child to exit, which could lead to a race condition. If the old child did not exit before the new child tried to bind to its socket, it would find the old child blocking the port it wanted.
• More fixes for the Win32 restarter. It was effectively ignoring all command-line options except those related to the restarter itself.

1.17 2009-05-24 18:18:17

• Catalyst::Restarter::Forking loaded the threads and Thread::Cancel modules, even though it doesn't need them.

1.16 2009-05-23 17:29:29

• Catalyst prereq changed to 5.80. Thanks, kold! (jhannah)
• Fixed the restarter to actually work on Win32. The fix means that the restarter is as slow as ever on Win32, but it works. Thanks to Rodrigo for the bug report and suggestion on how to fix it. (Dave Rolsky)
• Actually fix -p option for port number, as I failed to do it right last time as I'm an idiot (t0m)

1.15 2009-05-13 20:02

• Remove -p option for pid file, and restore it to the port number, as it should be -port|-p (t0m)
• Document -pidfile in myapp_server.pl POD (t0m)

1.14_02 2009-05-11 04:29

• Small changes to work with File::ChangeNotify 0.03. (Dave Rolsky)

1.14_01 2009-05-11 03:45

• This release moves the restarter functionality into a new module Catalyst::Restarter, that is not a Catalyst Engine subclass.

  The new restarter is simpler and more reliable, because it does not try to test if a changed piece of code can be compiled. It simply restarts the server whenever it detects changes. This also makes it much faster.

  However, this does mean that the server can simply die when a changed file cannot compile. This is different than the old behavior, where the server remained running without incorporating the change.

  Finally, the new restarter relies on File::ChangeNotify, which is designed to accomodate per-OS methods of detecting changed files. As of this writing, it currently ships with a file watcher that uses inotify on Linux systems, and a default fallback class that does everything in pure Perl. (Dave Rolsky)
