4 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
6 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
9 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
11 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
14 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
15 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
16 load Utils before MyApp.pm
18 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
21 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
23 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
24 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
25 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
26 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
27 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
29 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
32 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
33 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
34 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
37 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
38 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
43 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
46 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
49 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
50 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
51 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
52 the default action creation.
55 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
56 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
57 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
58 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
59 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
60 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
61 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
64 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
66 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
68 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
70 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
73 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
74 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
75 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
76 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
77 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
80 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
81 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
84 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
85 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
86 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
89 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
92 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
93 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
94 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
95 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
96 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
97 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
98 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
99 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
102 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
103 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
104 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
106 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
107 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
108 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
109 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
112 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
113 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
116 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
117 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
120 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
123 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
124 the content type and content length if available.
126 Refactoring / optimizations:
127 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
128 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
129 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
130 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
131 screen as easy to write.
132 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
133 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
134 in parameter filtering (for example).
135 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
136 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
137 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
138 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
139 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
142 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
143 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
144 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
145 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
147 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
150 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
151 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
153 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
156 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
157 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
159 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
162 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
163 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
164 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
165 which should not be encoded.
166 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
167 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
169 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
170 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
171 any set of args/captures.
173 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
174 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
176 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
180 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
182 - Various minor typo fixes.
185 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
187 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
190 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
191 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
192 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
195 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
196 - Clarify documentation about debug
199 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
200 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
201 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
203 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
206 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
207 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
211 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
212 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
214 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
215 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
216 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
217 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
218 argv key in the options hash.
219 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
220 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
221 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
222 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
224 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
228 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
229 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
230 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
231 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
232 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
234 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
238 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
239 encoding test controller.
241 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
243 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
244 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
245 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
246 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
248 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
249 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
250 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
251 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
252 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
254 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
258 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
259 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
260 less packed with information of no use.
264 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
266 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
268 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
269 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
270 the single character '0'.
271 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
274 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
275 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
276 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
278 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
280 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
281 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
282 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
283 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
284 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
285 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
286 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
287 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
288 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
289 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
290 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
291 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
293 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
294 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
296 Refactoring / cleanups:
297 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
298 (and then skipped) normally.
301 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
303 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
306 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
307 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
308 on the old behaviour.
310 Refactoring / cleanups:
311 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
312 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
314 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
317 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
318 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
319 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
320 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
321 as there is no recommended alternative.
322 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
323 fallback for fully qualified component names.
324 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
325 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
326 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
327 startup, rather than with the first hit.
328 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
329 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
330 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
331 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
332 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
333 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
334 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
335 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
338 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
339 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
340 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
341 deprecated and causes warnings).
342 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
343 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
344 in the correct order.
345 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
347 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
348 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
349 is deprecated (RT#51489)
352 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
353 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
354 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
355 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
356 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
358 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
359 exception classes need to implement.
360 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
361 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
364 Refactoring / cleanups:
365 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
366 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
367 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
368 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
369 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
370 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
371 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
373 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
376 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
377 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
378 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
379 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
381 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
382 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
383 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
386 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
387 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
390 Refactoring / cleanups:
391 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
392 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
393 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
394 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
395 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
397 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
400 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
401 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
402 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
403 now loaded at most once + tests.
404 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
405 is returned to 'actions'.
406 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
407 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
409 Refactoring / cleanups:
410 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
411 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
414 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
415 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
416 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
418 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
421 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
422 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
425 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
428 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
429 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
430 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
432 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
435 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
436 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
437 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
439 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
442 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
443 application class immutable without that option.
444 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
445 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
447 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
448 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
449 (hopefully) future versions.
450 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
451 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
453 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
455 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
456 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
457 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
458 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
459 Request-URI of the Request-Line
461 Refactoring / cleanups:
462 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
463 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
464 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
465 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
466 known issues with 5.8.3.
467 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
468 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
471 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
472 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
473 for the controller namespace
474 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
475 expand_component_module (rjbs)
476 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
477 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
478 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
479 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
481 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
482 frontend port (jshirley)
483 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
487 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
488 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
489 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
490 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
493 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
496 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
497 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
498 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
500 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
501 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
502 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
503 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
504 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
505 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
509 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
510 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
511 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
514 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
517 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
518 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
520 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
521 in some environments.
522 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
523 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
524 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
525 except works correctly with closures.
526 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
527 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
528 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
530 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
531 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
532 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
535 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
536 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
537 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
538 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
539 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
540 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
542 Refactoring / cleanups:
543 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
544 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
545 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
546 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
548 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
549 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
550 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
552 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
553 again in Catalyst::Test
555 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
558 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
559 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
562 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
565 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
566 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
567 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
569 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
572 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
573 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
576 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
577 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
581 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
582 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
583 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
584 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
585 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
587 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
588 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
589 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
590 controller naming. (random)
591 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
592 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
593 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
594 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
595 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
597 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
599 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
600 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
601 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
603 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
604 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
605 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
606 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
607 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
608 to report 'Unknown Error'
609 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
610 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

625 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
626 Test::Aggregate is available.
627 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
628 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without

644 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
645 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
647 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
648 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
649 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
650 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
651 configuration in your application.
653 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
654 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
655 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures

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

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

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

781 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
782 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

822 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
823 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

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

1003 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1004 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
