3 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
6 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
7 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
8 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
9 the default action creation.
12 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
13 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
14 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
15 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
16 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
17 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
18 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
21 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
23 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
25 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
27 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
30 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
31 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
32 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
33 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
34 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
37 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
38 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
41 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
42 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
43 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
46 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
49 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
50 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
51 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
52 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
53 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
54 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
55 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
56 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
59 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
60 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
61 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
63 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
64 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
65 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
66 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
69 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
70 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
73 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
74 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
77 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
80 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
81 the content type and content length if available.
83 Refactoring / optimizations:
84 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
85 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
86 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
87 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
88 screen as easy to write.
89 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
90 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
91 in parameter filtering (for example).
92 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
93 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
94 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
95 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
96 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
99 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
100 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
101 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
102 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
104 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
107 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
108 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
110 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
113 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
114 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
116 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
119 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
120 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
121 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
122 which should not be encoded.
123 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
124 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
126 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
127 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
128 any set of args/captures.
130 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
131 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
133 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
137 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
139 - Various minor typo fixes.
142 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
144 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
147 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
148 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
149 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
152 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
153 - Clarify documentation about debug
156 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
157 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
158 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
160 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
163 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
164 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
168 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
169 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
171 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
172 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
173 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
174 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
175 argv key in the options hash.
176 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
177 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
178 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
179 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
181 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
185 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
186 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
187 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
188 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
189 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
191 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
195 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
196 encoding test controller.
198 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
200 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
201 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
202 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
203 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
205 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
206 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
207 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
208 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
209 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
211 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
215 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
216 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
217 less packed with information of no use.
221 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
223 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
225 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
226 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
227 the single character '0'.
228 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
231 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
232 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
233 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
235 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
237 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
238 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
239 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
240 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
241 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
242 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
243 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
244 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
245 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
246 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
247 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
248 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
250 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
251 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
253 Refactoring / cleanups:
254 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
255 (and then skipped) normally.
258 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
260 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
263 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
264 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
265 on the old behaviour.
267 Refactoring / cleanups:
268 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
269 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
271 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
274 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
275 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
276 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
277 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
278 as there is no recommended alternative.
279 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
280 fallback for fully qualified component names.
281 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
282 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
283 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
284 startup, rather than with the first hit.
285 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
286 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
287 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
288 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
289 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
290 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
291 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
292 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
295 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
296 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
297 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
298 deprecated and causes warnings).
299 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
300 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
301 in the correct order.
302 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
304 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
305 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
306 is deprecated (RT#51489)
309 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
310 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
311 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
312 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
313 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
315 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
316 exception classes need to implement.
317 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
318 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
321 Refactoring / cleanups:
322 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
323 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
324 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
325 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
326 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
327 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
328 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
330 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
333 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
334 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
335 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
336 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
338 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
339 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
340 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
343 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
344 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
347 Refactoring / cleanups:
348 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
349 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
350 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
351 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
352 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
354 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
357 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
358 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
359 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
360 now loaded at most once + tests.
361 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
362 is returned to 'actions'.
363 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
364 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
366 Refactoring / cleanups:
367 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
368 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
371 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
372 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
373 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
375 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
378 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
379 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
382 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
385 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
386 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
387 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
389 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
392 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
393 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
394 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
396 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
399 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
400 application class immutable without that option.
401 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
402 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
404 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
405 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
406 (hopefully) future versions.
407 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
408 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
410 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
412 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
413 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
414 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
415 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
416 Request-URI of the Request-Line
418 Refactoring / cleanups:
419 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
420 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
421 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
422 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
423 known issues with 5.8.3.
424 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
425 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
428 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
429 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
430 for the controller namespace
431 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
432 expand_component_module (rjbs)
433 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
434 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
435 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
436 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
438 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
439 frontend port (jshirley)
440 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
444 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
445 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
446 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
447 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
450 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
453 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
454 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
455 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
457 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
458 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
459 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
460 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
461 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
462 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
466 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
467 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
468 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
471 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
474 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
475 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
477 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
478 in some environments.
479 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
480 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
481 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
482 except works correctly with closures.
483 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
484 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
485 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
487 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
488 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
489 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
492 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
493 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
494 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
495 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
496 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
497 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
499 Refactoring / cleanups:
500 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
501 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
502 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
503 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
505 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
506 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
507 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
509 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
510 again in Catalyst::Test
512 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
515 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
516 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
519 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
522 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
523 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
524 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
526 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
529 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
530 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
533 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
534 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
538 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
539 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
540 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
541 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
542 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
544 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
545 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
546 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
547 controller naming. (random)
548 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
549 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
550 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
551 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
552 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
554 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
556 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
557 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
558 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
560 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
561 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
562 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
563 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
564 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
565 to report 'Unknown Error'
566 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
567 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
568 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
569 parse_on_demand is on
571 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
572 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
573 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
574 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
575 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
576 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
577 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
578 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
579 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
581 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
582 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
583 Test::Aggregate is available.
584 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
585 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
586 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
587 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
588 disabling functionality from base controllers.
589 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
590 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
591 incompatibility issues in some cases.
592 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
593 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
594 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them

599 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
600 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
601 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
602 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
604 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
605 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
606 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

641 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
642 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
643 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
644 tries to chain to itself
646 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
647 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
648 - Tests for this (radek)
649 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
650 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
651 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
652 - Tests for this (radek)
653 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
654 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

661 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
663 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
664 in production versions
665 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
666 the correct metaclass
667 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
668 the restarter process
669 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
670 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
672 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
673 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
674 immutable restart correctly.
676 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
677 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

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

738 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
739 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

785 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
786 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
787 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
