Catalyst summary for 2005/04/19.

draven on 2005-04-19T22:27:45

• sri is writing meta-plugin support to add class data accessors to your $c object.

  12:43 <@sri> MyApp->plugin(textile, Text::Textile)
  

• Sri is improving minimojo for our upcoming article to show off all the great catalyst features.
• Chansen is making a nice article posting interface demo of catalyst and his new Class::DBI module, which can easily be extended into some kick ass journaling code.
• Work progresses nicely on the Clobe demo (Planet clone). We now have a working prototype, but I've decided to write a new feed aggregator module on top of XML::Feed, so it's stalling a little while that's being done.

New to CPAN

• Catalyst::Plugin::SubRequest 0.04 - Updated for Catalyst 5.0. Also, This one actually uses the catalyst dispatcher, rather than a cheap forward trick.
• Catalyst-Plugin-Session-FastMmap - Updated for 5.0. Note that this module is soon to be obsoleted by the brand new shiny Session framework, once Chansen finishes. (Yes, he usually keeps us in suspense.)
• Catalyst 5.03 - A few more bugs, a little more docs. See release announcement here.
• Acme releases a new ebug, which shows some really interesting use of Catalyst. Check out Devel::ebug's http frontend!
