4 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
5 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
6 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
8 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions
9 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger
10 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout
11 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
12 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN
15 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
16 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
17 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
18 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
19 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
20 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
21 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
22 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
23 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
24 in behavior is compatible on its own.
25 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
26 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
27 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
28 - Some test and documentation improvements
30 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
31 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
32 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
33 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
36 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
37 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
40 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
41 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
43 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
44 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
46 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
48 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
49 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
51 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
53 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
54 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
55 of request or response classes.
57 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
58 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
59 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
60 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
61 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
62 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
63 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
64 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
65 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
66 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
68 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
69 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
70 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
71 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
72 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
74 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
76 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
77 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
79 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
81 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
82 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
83 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
86 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
89 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
92 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
93 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
95 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
98 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
101 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
103 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
105 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
107 Distribution META.yml changes:
108 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
109 mis-parses from the documentation.
110 - x_authority key added.
113 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
114 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
116 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
117 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
118 is less than helpful.
120 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
121 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
122 in bleadperl. RT#76437
124 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
125 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
128 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
129 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
131 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
132 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
133 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
135 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
138 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
139 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
140 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
141 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
142 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
143 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
145 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
147 - --background option for the server script now only closes
148 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
149 and other loggers which open a file handle when
150 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
151 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
152 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
155 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
158 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
159 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
160 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
161 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
163 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
166 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
169 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
170 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
171 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
172 included when not running from a checkout.
174 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
176 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
177 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
178 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
180 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
182 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
184 New features and refactoring:
185 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
186 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
187 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
189 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
190 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
191 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
194 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
195 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
196 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
198 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
200 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
201 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
202 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
203 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
204 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
205 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
207 Back compatibility fixes:
208 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
209 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
210 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
213 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
216 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
217 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
218 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
220 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
221 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
222 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
224 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
227 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
228 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
229 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
230 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
231 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
234 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
235 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
237 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
238 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
239 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
241 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
244 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
245 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
246 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
247 get them passed through to the application.
250 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
251 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
252 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
253 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
256 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
257 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
258 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
259 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
261 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
262 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
263 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
265 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
266 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
268 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
272 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
273 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
274 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
275 whereas before you had to say:
276 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
277 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
278 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
281 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
282 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
283 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
284 scripts in the application.
285 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
286 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
287 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
292 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
294 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
295 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
296 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
297 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
298 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
299 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
300 and provide an alternative.
302 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
306 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
309 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
312 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
314 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
315 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
316 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
317 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
318 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
319 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
323 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
324 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
326 Backward compatibility fixes:
328 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
329 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
333 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
334 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
336 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
338 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
340 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
341 Backward compatibility fixes:
343 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
344 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
346 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
350 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
351 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
352 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
354 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
356 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
357 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
359 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
363 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
365 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
367 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
369 Backward compatibility fixes:
371 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
373 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
374 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
375 for backward compatibility.
379 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
380 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
384 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
385 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
386 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
388 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
390 Backward compatibility fixes:
392 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
393 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
397 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
400 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
401 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
402 example) Coro is loaded.
404 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
405 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
407 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
408 using MooseX::Deamonize
410 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
411 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
412 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
413 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
414 deployed in these environments.
418 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
422 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
423 file for your application.
425 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
429 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
430 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
432 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
435 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
436 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
438 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
440 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
441 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
443 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
444 IO::Handle's behaviour.
446 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
447 was not breaking out correctly
449 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
450 to also work in the $c->component method.
452 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
453 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
454 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
456 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
458 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
460 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
462 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
463 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
466 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
468 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
471 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
475 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
476 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
477 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
479 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
482 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
484 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
485 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
486 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
488 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
491 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
492 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
493 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
494 the new major version of Catalyst.
497 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
498 of Catalyst has been much improved.
500 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
503 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
504 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
505 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
507 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
509 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
510 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
511 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
513 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
516 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
517 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
518 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
520 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
521 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
525 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
526 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
528 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
529 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
530 developers without changing their application code.
532 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
535 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
536 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
537 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
538 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
539 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
541 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
542 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
544 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
546 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
550 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
551 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
552 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
553 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
554 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
555 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
556 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
558 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
559 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
560 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
561 class, please tell us *now*.
563 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
566 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
568 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
569 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
570 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
571 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
572 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
573 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
576 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
577 the Content-Length header appropriately)
578 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
579 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
580 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
581 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
582 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
583 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
585 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
586 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
587 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
588 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
589 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
590 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
591 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
592 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
595 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
596 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
598 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
601 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
602 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
606 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
607 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
609 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
612 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
614 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
615 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
617 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
619 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
622 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
624 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
627 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
628 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
629 load Utils before MyApp.pm
631 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
634 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
636 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
637 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
638 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
639 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
640 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
642 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
645 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
646 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
647 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
650 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
651 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
656 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
659 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
662 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
663 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
664 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
665 the default action creation.
668 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
669 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
670 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
671 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
672 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
673 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
674 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
677 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
679 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
681 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
683 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
686 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
687 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
688 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
689 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
690 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
693 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
694 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
697 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
698 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
699 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
700 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
702 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
705 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
706 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
707 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
708 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
709 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
710 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
711 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
712 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
715 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
716 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
717 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
719 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
720 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
721 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
722 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
725 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
726 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
729 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
730 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
733 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
736 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
737 the content type and content length if available.
739 Refactoring / optimizations:
740 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
741 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
742 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
743 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
744 screen as easy to write.
745 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
746 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
747 in parameter filtering (for example).
748 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
749 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
750 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
751 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
752 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
755 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
756 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
757 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
758 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
760 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
763 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
764 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
766 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
769 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
770 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
772 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
775 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
776 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
777 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
778 which should not be encoded.
779 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
780 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
782 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
783 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
784 any set of args/captures.
786 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
787 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
789 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
793 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
795 - Various minor typo fixes.
798 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
800 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
803 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
804 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
805 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
808 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
809 - Clarify documentation about debug
812 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
813 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
814 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
816 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
819 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
820 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
824 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
825 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
827 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
828 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
829 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
830 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
831 argv key in the options hash.
832 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
833 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
834 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
835 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
837 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
841 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
842 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
843 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
844 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
845 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
847 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
851 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
852 encoding test controller.
854 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
856 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
857 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
858 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
859 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
861 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
862 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
863 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
864 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
865 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
867 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
871 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
872 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
873 less packed with information of no use.
877 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
879 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
881 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
882 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
883 the single character '0'.
884 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
887 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
888 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
889 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
891 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
893 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
894 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
895 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
896 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
897 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
898 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
899 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
900 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
901 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
902 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
903 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
904 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
906 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
907 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
909 Refactoring / cleanups:
910 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
911 (and then skipped) normally.
914 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
916 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
919 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
920 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
921 on the old behaviour.
923 Refactoring / cleanups:
924 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
925 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
927 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
930 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
931 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
932 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
933 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
934 as there is no recommended alternative.
935 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
936 fallback for fully qualified component names.
937 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
938 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
939 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
940 startup, rather than with the first hit.
941 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
942 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
943 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
944 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
945 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
946 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
947 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
948 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
951 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
952 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
953 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
954 deprecated and causes warnings).
955 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
956 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
957 in the correct order.
958 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
960 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
961 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
962 is deprecated (RT#51489)
965 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
966 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
967 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
968 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
969 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
971 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
972 exception classes need to implement.
973 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
974 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
977 Refactoring / cleanups:
978 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
979 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
980 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
981 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
982 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
983 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
984 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
986 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
989 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
990 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
991 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
992 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
994 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
995 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
996 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
999 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1000 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1003 Refactoring / cleanups:
1004 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1005 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1006 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1007 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1008 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1010 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1013 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1014 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1015 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1016 now loaded at most once + tests.
1017 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1018 is returned to 'actions'.
1019 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1020 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1022 Refactoring / cleanups:
1023 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1024 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1027 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1028 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1029 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1031 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1034 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1035 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1038 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1041 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1042 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1043 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1045 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1048 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1049 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1050 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1052 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1055 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1056 application class immutable without that option.
1057 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1058 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1060 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1061 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1062 (hopefully) future versions.
1063 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1064 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1065 variables (RT#48555)
1066 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1068 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1069 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1070 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1071 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1072 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1074 Refactoring / cleanups:
1075 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1076 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1077 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1078 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1079 known issues with 5.8.3.
1080 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1081 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1084 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1085 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1086 for the controller namespace
1087 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1088 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1089 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1090 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1091 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1092 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1094 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1095 frontend port (jshirley)
1096 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1100 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1101 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1102 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1103 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1106 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1109 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1110 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1111 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1113 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1114 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1115 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1116 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1117 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1118 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1122 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1123 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1124 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1127 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1130 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1131 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1133 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1134 in some environments.
1135 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1136 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1137 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1138 except works correctly with closures.
1139 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1140 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1141 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1142 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1143 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1144 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1145 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1148 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1149 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1150 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1151 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1152 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1153 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1155 Refactoring / cleanups:
1156 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1157 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1158 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1159 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1161 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1162 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1163 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1165 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1166 again in Catalyst::Test
1168 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1171 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1172 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1175 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1178 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1179 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1180 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1182 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1185 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1186 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1189 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1190 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1194 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1195 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1196 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1197 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1198 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1200 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1201 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1202 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1203 controller naming. (random)
1204 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1205 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1206 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1207 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1208 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1210 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1212 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1213 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1214 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1216 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1217 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1218 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1219 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1220 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1221 to report 'Unknown Error'
1222 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1223 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1224 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1225 parse_on_demand is on

1228 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1229 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1230 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
1231 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
1232 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.

1234 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
1235 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
1237 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
1238 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1239 Test::Aggregate is available.
1240 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1241 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1242 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1243 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1244 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1255 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
1256 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1257 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1258 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1260 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1261 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1262 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1263 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1264 configuration in your application.
1266 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1267 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
1268 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

1292 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1294 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1295 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1297 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1298 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1299 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1300 tries to chain to itself
1302 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1303 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1304 - Tests for this (radek)
1305 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1306 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1307 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1308 - Tests for this (radek)
1309 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
1310 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
1311 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
1312 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
1314 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
1315 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
1317 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1319 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1320 in production versions
1321 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1322 the correct metaclass
1323 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1324 the restarter process
1325 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1326 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1328 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1329 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1330 immutable restart correctly.
1332 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1333 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1345 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1346 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1347 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
1348 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
1349 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1350 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1351 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1352 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1354 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1355 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1356 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
1359 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

1389 - Passing request method exported by Catalyst::Test an extra
1390 parameter used to be ignored, but started breaking if the parameter
1391 was not a hash in 5.8000_04. Extra parameter is now ignored if
1393 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1394 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1395 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1415 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1417 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1418 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later

1443 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1444 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1445 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1567 throw warnings for two reasons:
1568 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1569 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1616 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1617 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
