The Catalyst core team is pleased to announce the availability of the
latest maintenance release of Catalyst-Runtime, version 5.80006.
This fixes regressions introduced in the last release with the
encoding of arguments to actions, and a number of other bugs.
It also adds more flexible exception handling, a new role
Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure allowing you to safely get a
properly weakened reference to a '$c' object for use in components,
to avoid circular references, and a ~ prefix to action & etc names to
mean 'application local.
A full changelog is included below.
Many thanks to all the people who worked on this release.

5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
Bug fixes:
- Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
applications (t0m).
- Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from
CPAN
in some environments (t0m).
- Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
except works correctly with closures (t0m).
- Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid
weird
bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
- Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in
Catalyst::Controller
(jasonk in RT#42816)
New features:
- Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are
located in
MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
- Controller methods without attributes are now considered
actions if
they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
- Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to
create code
references, that close over the context, without creating
leaks
(Florian Ragwitz).
Refactoring / cleanups:
- Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception* (Florian Ragwitz).
- Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the
throw
method create instances of it. They can still be used as
normal
strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to
their
error message (Florian Ragwitz).
- Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception (Florian
Ragwitz).
- Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor
detach() and
go() to use them instead of magic, global strings (Florian
Ragwitz).
Fixes RT#47366
- Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class
immutable
again in Catalyst::Test (t0m)
