Hi folks.
We're getting close to getting a new release of Catalyst out the door,
and since this version contains new features as well as bugfixes, It
will be 5.7100. I've just uploaded a developer release to cpan, which
will be released as the final version in one week, unless you find
something we need to fix, or someone hands us a completed patch for
the action_uri method ;)
Here's the changelog:
- 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
- remove 0-length query string components so warnings aren't
thrown (RT #36428)
- Update HTTP::Body dep so that the uploadtmp config value
will work (RT #22540)
- Fix for LocalRegex when used in the Root controller
- Get some of the optional_* tests working from dirs with
spaces (RT #26455)
- Fix Catalyst::Utils::home() when application .pm is in the
current dir (RT #34437)
- Added the ability to remove parameters in req->uri_with()
by passing in
an undef value (RT #34782)
The feature to note here is 'go', which works like an internal
redispatch to another action, while retaining the stash intact. Being
able to do this means that in practice you don't ever need to set the
template name in stash, but can depend on using go when you want to
render the template of the other action, rather than the one you
dispatched to.
Have fun, take care, remember to brush your teeth!
