1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
6 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
7 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
9 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
12 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
14 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
17 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
18 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
19 load Utils before MyApp.pm
21 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
24 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
26 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
27 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
28 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
29 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
30 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
32 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
35 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
36 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
37 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
40 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
41 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
46 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
49 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
52 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
53 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
54 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
55 the default action creation.
58 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
59 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
60 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
61 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
62 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
63 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
64 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
67 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
69 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
71 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
73 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
76 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
77 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
78 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
79 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
80 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
83 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
84 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
87 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
88 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
89 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
92 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
95 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
96 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
97 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
98 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
99 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
100 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
101 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
102 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
105 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
106 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
107 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
109 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
110 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
111 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
112 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
115 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
116 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
119 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
120 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
123 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
126 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
127 the content type and content length if available.
129 Refactoring / optimizations:
130 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
131 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
132 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
133 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
134 screen as easy to write.
135 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
136 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
137 in parameter filtering (for example).
138 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
139 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
140 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
141 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
142 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
145 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
146 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
147 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
148 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
150 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
153 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
154 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
156 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
159 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
160 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
162 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
165 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
166 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
167 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
168 which should not be encoded.
169 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
170 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
172 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
173 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
174 any set of args/captures.
176 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
177 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
179 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
183 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
185 - Various minor typo fixes.
188 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
190 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
193 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
194 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
195 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
198 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
199 - Clarify documentation about debug
202 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
203 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
204 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
206 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
209 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
210 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
214 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
215 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
217 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
218 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
219 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
220 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
221 argv key in the options hash.
222 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
223 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
224 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
225 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
227 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
231 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
232 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
233 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
234 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
235 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
237 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
241 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
242 encoding test controller.
244 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
246 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
247 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
248 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
249 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
251 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
252 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
253 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
254 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
255 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
257 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
261 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
262 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
263 less packed with information of no use.
267 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
269 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
271 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
272 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
273 the single character '0'.
274 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
277 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
278 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
279 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
281 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
283 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
284 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
285 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
286 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
287 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
288 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
289 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
290 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
291 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
292 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
293 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
294 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
296 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
297 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
299 Refactoring / cleanups:
300 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
301 (and then skipped) normally.
304 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
306 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
309 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
310 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
311 on the old behaviour.
313 Refactoring / cleanups:
314 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
315 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
317 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
320 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
321 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
322 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
323 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
324 as there is no recommended alternative.
325 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
326 fallback for fully qualified component names.
327 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
328 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
329 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
330 startup, rather than with the first hit.
331 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
332 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
333 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
334 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
335 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
336 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
337 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
338 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
341 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
342 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
343 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
344 deprecated and causes warnings).
345 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
346 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
347 in the correct order.
348 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
350 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
351 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
352 is deprecated (RT#51489)
355 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
356 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
357 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
358 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
359 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
361 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
362 exception classes need to implement.
363 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
364 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
367 Refactoring / cleanups:
368 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
369 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
370 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
371 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
372 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
373 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
374 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
376 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
379 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
380 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
381 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
382 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
384 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
385 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
386 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
389 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
390 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
393 Refactoring / cleanups:
394 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
395 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
396 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
397 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
398 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
400 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
403 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
404 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
405 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
406 now loaded at most once + tests.
407 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
408 is returned to 'actions'.
409 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
410 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
412 Refactoring / cleanups:
413 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
414 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
417 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
418 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
419 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
421 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
424 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
425 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
428 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
431 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
432 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
433 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
435 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
438 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
439 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
440 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
442 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
445 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
446 application class immutable without that option.
447 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
448 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
450 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
451 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
452 (hopefully) future versions.
453 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
454 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
456 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
458 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
459 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
460 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
461 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
462 Request-URI of the Request-Line
464 Refactoring / cleanups:
465 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
466 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
467 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
468 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
469 known issues with 5.8.3.
470 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
471 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
474 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
475 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
476 for the controller namespace
477 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
478 expand_component_module (rjbs)
479 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
480 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
481 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
482 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
484 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
485 frontend port (jshirley)
486 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
490 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
491 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
492 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
493 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
496 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
499 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
500 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
501 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
503 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
504 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
505 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
506 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
507 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
508 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
512 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
513 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
514 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
517 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
520 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
521 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
523 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
524 in some environments.
525 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
526 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
527 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
528 except works correctly with closures.
529 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
530 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
531 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
533 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
534 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
535 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
538 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
539 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
540 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
541 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
542 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
543 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
545 Refactoring / cleanups:
546 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
547 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
548 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
549 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
551 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
552 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
553 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
555 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
556 again in Catalyst::Test
558 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
561 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
562 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
565 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
568 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
569 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
570 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
572 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
575 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
576 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
579 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
580 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
584 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
585 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
586 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
587 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
588 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
590 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
591 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
592 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
593 controller naming. (random)
594 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
595 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
596 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
597 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
598 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
600 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
602 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
603 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
604 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
606 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
607 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
608 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
609 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
610 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
611 to report 'Unknown Error'

647 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
648 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
650 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
651 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
652 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

657 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
658 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

682 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
684 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
685 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
687 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
688 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
689 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
690 tries to chain to itself
692 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
693 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
694 - Tests for this (radek)
695 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
696 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
697 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
698 - Tests for this (radek)
699 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
700 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
701 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)

709 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
710 in production versions
711 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
712 the correct metaclass
713 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
714 the restarter process
715 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
716 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
718 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
719 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
720 immutable restart correctly.
722 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
723 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
724 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

736 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
737 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
738 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
739 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
740 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
741 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
742 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
744 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
745 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
746 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
749 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

784 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
785 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)
786 - Fix calling use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp' 'foo' which used to work,

823 - Fix bug causing Catalyst::Request::Upload's basename method
825 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
826 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not
827 die, as it didn't in 5.70

831 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
832 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
833 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
834 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
835 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1006 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1007 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
