1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
5 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
6 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
7 the default action creation.
10 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
11 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
12 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
13 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
14 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
17 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
19 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
21 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
23 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
26 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
27 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
28 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
29 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
30 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
33 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
34 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
37 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
38 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
39 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
42 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
45 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
46 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
47 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
48 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
49 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
50 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
51 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
52 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
55 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
56 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
57 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
59 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
60 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
61 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
62 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
65 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
66 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
69 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
70 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
73 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
76 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
77 the content type and content length if available.
79 Refactoring / optimizations:
80 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
81 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
82 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
83 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
84 screen as easy to write.
85 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
86 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
87 in parameter filtering (for example).
88 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
89 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
90 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
91 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
92 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
95 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
96 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
97 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
98 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
100 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
103 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
104 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
106 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
109 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
110 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
112 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
115 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
116 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
117 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
118 which should not be encoded.
119 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
120 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
122 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
123 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
124 any set of args/captures.
126 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
127 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
129 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
133 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
135 - Various minor typo fixes.
138 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
140 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
143 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
144 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
145 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
148 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
149 - Clarify documentation about debug
152 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
153 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
154 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
156 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
159 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
160 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
164 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
165 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
167 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
168 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
169 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
170 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
171 argv key in the options hash.
172 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
173 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
174 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
175 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
177 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
181 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
182 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
183 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
184 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
185 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
187 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
191 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
192 encoding test controller.
194 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
196 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
197 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
198 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
199 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
201 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
202 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
203 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
204 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
205 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
207 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
211 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
212 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
213 less packed with information of no use.
217 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
219 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
221 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
222 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
223 the single character '0'.
224 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
227 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
228 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
229 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
231 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
233 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
234 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
235 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
236 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
237 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
238 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
239 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
240 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
241 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
242 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
243 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
244 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
246 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
247 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
249 Refactoring / cleanups:
250 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
251 (and then skipped) normally.
254 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
256 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
259 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
260 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
261 on the old behaviour.
263 Refactoring / cleanups:
264 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
265 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
267 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
270 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
271 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
272 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
273 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
274 as there is no recommended alternative.
275 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
276 fallback for fully qualified component names.
277 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
278 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
279 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
280 startup, rather than with the first hit.
281 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
282 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
283 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
284 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
285 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
286 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
287 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
288 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
291 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
292 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
293 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
294 deprecated and causes warnings).
295 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
296 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
297 in the correct order.
298 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
300 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
301 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
302 is deprecated (RT#51489)
305 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
306 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
307 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
308 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
309 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
311 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
312 exception classes need to implement.
313 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
314 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
317 Refactoring / cleanups:
318 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
319 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
320 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
321 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
322 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
323 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
324 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
326 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
329 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
330 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
331 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
332 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
334 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
335 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
336 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
339 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
340 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
343 Refactoring / cleanups:
344 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
345 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
346 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
347 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
348 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
350 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
353 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
354 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
355 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
356 now loaded at most once + tests.
357 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
358 is returned to 'actions'.
359 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
360 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
362 Refactoring / cleanups:
363 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
364 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
367 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
368 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
369 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
371 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
374 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
375 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
378 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
381 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
382 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
383 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
385 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
388 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
389 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
390 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
392 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
395 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
396 application class immutable without that option.
397 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
398 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
400 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
401 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
402 (hopefully) future versions.
403 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
404 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
406 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
408 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
409 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
410 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
411 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
412 Request-URI of the Request-Line
414 Refactoring / cleanups:
415 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
416 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
417 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
418 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
419 known issues with 5.8.3.
420 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
421 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
424 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
425 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
426 for the controller namespace
427 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
428 expand_component_module (rjbs)
429 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
430 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
431 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
432 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
434 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
435 frontend port (jshirley)
436 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
440 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
441 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
442 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
443 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
446 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
449 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
450 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
451 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
453 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
454 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
455 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
456 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
457 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
458 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
462 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
463 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
464 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
467 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
470 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
471 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
473 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
474 in some environments.
475 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
476 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
477 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
478 except works correctly with closures.
479 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
480 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
481 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
483 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
484 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
485 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
488 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
489 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
490 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
491 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
492 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
493 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
495 Refactoring / cleanups:
496 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
497 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
498 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
499 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
501 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
502 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
503 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
505 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
506 again in Catalyst::Test
508 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
511 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
512 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
515 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
518 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
519 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
520 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
522 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
525 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
526 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
529 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
530 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
534 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
535 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
536 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
537 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
538 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
540 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
541 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
542 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
543 controller naming. (random)
544 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
545 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
546 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
547 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
548 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
550 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
552 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
553 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
554 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
556 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
557 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
558 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
559 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
560 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
561 to report 'Unknown Error'
562 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
563 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
564 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
565 parse_on_demand is on
567 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
568 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
569 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
570 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
571 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
572 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
573 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
574 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
575 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
577 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
578 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
579 Test::Aggregate is available.
580 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
581 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
582 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
583 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
584 disabling functionality from base controllers.
585 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
586 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
587 incompatibility issues in some cases.
588 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
589 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
590 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
591 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
592 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
593 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
594 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
595 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
596 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
597 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
598 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
600 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
601 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
602 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

637 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
638 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
639 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
640 tries to chain to itself
642 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
643 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
644 - Tests for this (radek)
645 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
646 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
647 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
648 - Tests for this (radek)
649 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
650 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
651 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
652 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
654 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own

657 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
659 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
660 in production versions
661 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
662 the correct metaclass
663 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
664 the restarter process
665 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
666 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
668 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
669 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
670 immutable restart correctly.

686 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
687 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
688 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
689 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
690 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
691 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
692 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
694 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
695 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
696 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
699 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
