1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 ! Stricter checking of attributes in Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained:
4 1) Only allow one of either :CaptureArgs or :Args
5 2) :CaptureArgs() argument must be numeric
6 - Add Devel::InnerPackage to dependencies, fixing tests on perl 5.17.11
7 as it's been removed from core. RT#84787
10 ! POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Regexp dispatch type from core, and put
11 it in an external package. If you need Regexp dispatch types you should
12 add "Catalyst-DispatchType-Regex" as a distribution to your build system.
13 - make $app->uri_for and related methods return something sane, when called
14 as an application method, instead of a context method. Now if you call
15 MyApp::Web->uri_for(...) you will get a generic URI object that you need to
17 - documentation updates around forwarding to chained actions.
18 - Fixed bug when a PSGI engine need to use psgix logger.
19 - Added cpanfile as a way to notice we are a dev checkout.
20 - Added 'x-tunneled-method' HTTP Header method override to match features in
21 Catalyst::Action::REST and in other similar systems on CPAN.
22 - smarter valiation around action attributes.
25 ! Catalyst::Action now defines 'match_captures' so it is no long considered
26 an optional method. This might break you code if you have made custom
27 action roles/classes where you define 'match_captures'. You must change
28 your code to use a method modifier (such as 'around').
29 - New match method "Method($HTTP_METHOD)" where $HTTP_METHOD in (GET, POST,
30 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION) and shortcuts in controllers called "GET, POST
31 PUT, HEAD, DELETE, OPTION"). Tests and documentation. Please note if you
32 are currently using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchRequestMethods there may
33 be compatibility issues. You should remove that actionrole since the built
34 in behavior is compatible on its own.
35 - Initial debug screen now shows HTTP Method Match info
36 - security fixes in the way we handle redirects
37 - Make Catalyst::Engine and Catalyst::Base immutable
38 - Some test and documentation improvements
40 5.90019 - 2012-12-04 21:31:00
41 - Fix for perl 5.17.6 (commit g7dc8663). RT#81601
42 - Fix for perl 5.8. RT#61122
43 - Remove use of MooseX::Types as MooseX::Types is broken on perl5.8
46 5.90018 - 2012-10-23 20:55:00
47 - Changed code in test suite so it no longer trips up on recent changes to
50 5.90017 - 2012-10-19 22:33:00
51 - Change Catalyst _parse_attrs so that when sub attr handlers:
53 1) Can return multiple pairs of new attributes.
54 2) Get their returned attributes passed through the correct attribute handler.
56 e.g sub _parse_Whatever_attr { return Chained => 'foo', PathPart => 'bar' }
58 Will now work because both new attributes are respected, and the Chained
59 attribute is passed to _parse_Chained_attr and fixed up correctly by that.
61 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
63 - Refactor request and response class construction to add methods
64 that roles can hook to feed extra parameters into the constructor
65 of request or response classes.
67 5.90016 - 2012-08-16 15:35:00
68 - prepare_parameters is no longer an attribute builder. It is now a method
69 that calls the correct underlying functionality (Bill Moseley++)
70 - Updated Makefile.PL to handle MacOXS tar
71 - Fix uri_for to handle a stringifiable object
72 - Fix model/view/controller methods to handle stringifiable objects
73 - Fix RT#78377 - IIS7 ignores response body for 3xx requests, which
74 causes (a different) response to be broken when using keepalive.
75 Fixed by applying Middleware which removes the response body and
76 content length that Catalyst supplies with redirects.
78 5.90015 - 2012-06-30 16:57:00
79 - Fix $c->finalize_headers getting called twice. RT#78090
80 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-Session-State-Cookie. RT#76179
81 - Fix test fails in Catalyst-Plugin-StackTrace
82 - Fix test fails in Test-WWW-Mechanize-Catalyst
84 5.90014 - 2012-06-26 10:00:00
86 - Fix calling finalize_headers before writing body when using $c->write /
87 $c->res->write (fixes RT#76179).
89 5.90013 - 2012-06-21 10:40:00
91 - Release previous TRIAL as stable.
92 - We failed to note in the previous changelog that the Makefile.PL has been
93 improved to make it easier for authors to bootstrap a developer install
96 5.90013 - TRIAL 2012-06-07 20:21:00
99 - Merge Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole into Catalyst::Controller.
102 - Fix warnings in some matching cases for Action methods with
103 Args(), when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Chained
105 - Fix request body parameters to not be undef if no parameters
108 - Fix action_args config so that it can be specified in the
111 - Fix t/author/http-server.t on Win32
113 - Fix use of Test::Aggregate to make tests faster.
115 5.90012 - 2012-05-16 09:59:00
117 Distribution META.yml changes:
118 - author key is now correct, rather than what Module::Install
119 mis-parses from the documentation.
120 - x_authority key added.
123 - Fix request body parameters being multiply rebuilt. Fixes both
124 RT#75607 and CatalystX::DebugFilter
126 - Make plugin de-duplication work as intended originally, as whilst
127 duplicate plugins are totally unwise, the C3 error given to the user
128 is less than helpful.
130 - Remove dependence on obscure behaviour in B::Hooks::EndOfScope
131 for backward compatibility. This fixes issues with behaviour changes
132 in bleadperl. RT#76437
134 - Work around Moose bug RT#75367 which breaks
135 Catalyst::Controller::DBIC::API.
138 - Fix documentation in Catalyst::Component to show attributes and
139 calling readers, rather than accessing elements in the $self->{} hash
141 - Add note in Catalyst::Component to strongly disrecommend $self->config
142 - Fix vague 'checkout' wording in Catalyst::Utils. RT#77000
143 - Fix documentation for the 'secure' method in Catalyst:Request. RT#76710
145 5.90011 - 2012-03-08 16:43:00
148 - Simplification of the previous changes to Catalyst::ScriptRunner
149 We now just push $FindBin::Bin/../lib to the @INC path again, but
150 only if one of the dist indicator files (Makefile.PL Build.PL or
151 dist.ini) can be found in $FindBin::Bin/../$_
152 This avoids heuristics when the app is unloaded and therefore
153 works better for extensions which have entire applications in
155 - Bug fix to again correctly detect checkouts in dist zilla using
157 - --background option for the server script now only closes
158 STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR. This fixes issues with Log::Dispatch
159 and other loggers which open a file handle when
160 - Change incorrect use of File::Spec->catdir to File::Spec->catfile
161 so that we work on platforms which care about this (VMS?)
162 - Make it more obvious if our PSGI server doesn't pass in a response
165 5.90010 - 2012-02-18 00:01:00
168 - Fix the previous fix to Catalyst::ScriptRunner which was resulting
169 in the lib directory not being pushed onto @INC.
170 This meant perl ./script/myapp_server.pl failed, however
171 perl -Ilib ./script/myapp_server.pl would succeed.
173 5.90009 - 2012-02-16 09:06:00
176 - Fix the debug page so that it works as expected with the latest
179 - The Catalyst::Utils::home function is used to find if the application
180 is a checkout in Catalyst::ScriptRunner. This means that a non-existant
181 lib directory that is relative to the script install location is not
182 included when not running from a checkout.
184 - Fix dead links to cpansearch.perl.org to point to metacpan.org.
186 - Require the latest version of B::Hooks::EndOfScope (0.10) to avoid an
187 issue with new versions of Module::Runtime (0.012) on perl 5.10
188 which stopped Catalyst::Controller from compiling.
190 - In Catalyst::Test, don't mangle headers of non-HTML responses. RT#79043
192 5.90008 - TRIAL 2012-02-06 20:49:00
194 New features and refactoring:
195 - Much of the Catalyst::Engine code has been moved into Catalyst::Request
196 and Catalyst::Response, to be able to better support asynchronous web
197 servers such as Twiggy, by making the application engine more reenterant.
199 This change is as a prequel to full asynchronous support inside Catalyst
200 for AnyEvent and IO::Async backends, which allow highly scaleable streaming
201 (for applications such as multi-part XML HTTPRequests, and Websockets).
204 - This means that the $c->engine->env method to access the PSGI environment
205 is now deprecated. The accessor for the PSGI env is now on Catalyst::Request
206 as per applications which were using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI
208 Catalyst::Engine::PSGI is now considered fully deprecated.
210 - The private _dump method in Catalyst::Log is now deprecated. The dumper is
211 not pluggable and which dumper to use should be a user choice. Using
212 an imported Dump() or Dumper() function is less typing than $c->log->_dump
213 and as this method is unused anywhere else in Catalyst, it has been scheduled
214 for removal as a cleanup. Calling this method will now emit a stack trace
215 on first call (but not on subsequent calls).
217 Back compatibility fixes:
218 - Applications still using Catalyst::Engine::PSGI as they rely on
219 $c->request->env - this is now the provided (and recommended) way of
220 accessing the raw PSGI environment.
223 - Spurious warnings have been removed from the test suite
226 - Fix the display of PROJECT FOUNDER and CONTRIBUTORS sections in the
227 documentation. These were erroneously being emitted when the Pod
228 was converted to HTML for search.cpan.org
230 - Fix documentation for the build_psgi_app app method. Previously the
231 documentation advised that it provided the psgi app already wrapped
232 in default middleware. This is not the case - it is the raw app psgi
234 5.90007 - 2011-11-22 20:35:00
237 - Implement a match_captures hook which, if it exists on an action,
238 is called with the $ctx and \@captures and is expected to return
239 true to continue the chain matching and false to stop matching.
240 This can be used to implement action classes or roles which match
241 conditionally (for example only matching captures which are integers).
244 - Lighttpd script name fix is only applied for lighttpd versions
245 < 1.4.23. This should fix non-root installs of lighttpd in versions
247 - Prepare_action is now inside a try {} block, so that requests containing
248 bad unicode can be appropriately trapped by
249 Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding
251 5.90006 - 2011-10-25 09:18:00
254 - A new 'run_options' class data method has been added to Catalyst.pm
255 This is used to store all the options passed by scripts, allowing
256 application authors to add custom options to their scripts then
257 get them passed through to the application.
260 - Clarify that if you manually write your own .psgi file, then optional
261 proxy support (via the using_frontend_proxy config value) will not be
262 enabled unless you explicitly apply the default middlewares from
263 Catalyst, or you apply the middleware manually.
266 - Fix issue due to perl internals bugs in 5.8 and 5.10 (not present in
267 other perl versions) require can pass the context inappropriately,
268 meaning that some methods of loading classes can fail due to void
269 context being passed throuh to make_immutable, causing it to not return
271 This bug caused loading Catalyst::Script::XXX to fail and is fixed
272 both by bumping the Class::Load dependency, and also adding an explicit
273 '1;' to the end of the classes, avoiding the context issue.
275 - Fix using_frontend_proxy support in mod_perl by using the psgi wrapped
276 in default middleware in mod_perl context, rather than the raw psgi.
278 5.90005 - 2011-10-22 13:35:00
282 - $c->uri_for_action can now take an array of CaptureArgs and Args
283 If you have an action which has both, then you can now say:
284 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures, @args]);
285 whereas before you had to say:
286 $c->uri_for_action('/myaction', [@captures], @args);
287 The previous form is still supported, however in many cases it is
288 easier for the application code to not have to differentiate between
291 - Catalyst::ScriptRunner has been enhanced so that it will now
292 load and apply traits, making it easier to customise.
293 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script (if it exists) will be applied to all
294 scripts in the application.
295 - MyApp::TraitFor::Script::XXXX will be applied to the relevant script
296 (for example MyApp::TraitFor::Script::Server will be applied to
297 MyApp::Script::Server if it exists, or Catalyst::Script::Server
302 - Document how to get the vhost of the request in $c->req->hostname
304 - Remove documentation showing Global / Regex / Private actionsi
305 as whilst these still exist (and work), they are not recommended.
306 - Remove references to the -Engine flag.
307 - Remove references to the deprecated Catalyst->plugin method
308 - Spelling fixed (and tested) throughout the documentation
309 - Note that wrapping the setup method will not work with method modifiers
310 and provide an alternative.
312 5.90004 - 2011-10-11 17:12:00
316 - Don't guess engine class names when setting an engine through
319 5.90003 - 2011-10-05 08:32:00
322 - Make default body reponses for 302s W3C compliant. RT#71237
324 - Fix issue where groups of attributes to override controller actions
325 in config would be (incorrectly) overwritten, if the parser for that
326 attribute mangled the contents of the attribute. This was found
327 with Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole, where Does => [ '+Foo' ]
328 would be transformed to Does => [ 'Foo' ] and written back to config,
329 whereas Does => '+Foo' would not be changed in config. RT#65463
333 - Set a matching Content-type for the redirect if Catalyst sets the
334 body. This is for compatibility with a WatchGuard Firewall.
336 Backward compatibility fixes:
338 - Restore (an almost empty) Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to the dist for old
339 scripts which explictly require Catalyst::Engine::HTTP
343 - Document Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication fails tests unless
344 you use the latest version with Catalyst 5.9
346 - Clarify that prepare is called as a class method
348 - Clarify use of uri_for further. RT#57011
350 5.90002 - 2011-08-22 21:44:00
351 Backward compatibility fixes:
353 - Deploying via mod_perl in some cases is fixed by making
354 Catalyst::EngineLoader detect mod_perl in more generic
356 https://github.com/miyagawa/Plack/issues/239
360 - Fix incorrect example in Catalyst::PSGI.
361 - Add note that if you are using the PSGI engine, then $c->req->env
362 needs to become $c->engine->env when you upgrade.
364 5.90001 - 2011-08-15 22:42
366 Realise that we accidentally chopped a digit off the versioning scheme
367 without anyone noticing, which is a bad thing.
369 Feel like a fool. Well done t0m.
373 5.9000 - 2011-08-15 22:18
375 See Catalyst::Delta for the major changes in this release.
377 Changelog since the last TRIAL release:
379 Backward compatibility fixes:
381 - Fix calling MyApp->engine_class to set the engine class manually.
383 - Re-add a $res->headers->{status} field to Catalyst::Test responses.
384 This _should_ be accessed with $c->res->code instead, but is here
385 for backward compatibility.
389 - Documentation which was in the now removed Catalyst::Engine::* classes
390 has been moved to Catalyst::Manual::Deployment
394 - nginx specific behaviour is removed as it is not needed with any
395 web server configuration I can come up with (recommended config is
396 documented in Catalst::Manual::Deployment::nginx::FastCGI)
398 5.89003 2011-07-28 20:11:50 (TRIAL release)
400 Backward compatibility fixes:
402 - Application scripts which have not been upgraded to newer
403 Catalyst::Script::XXX style scripts have been fixed
407 - mod_perl handler fixed to work with application classes which have manually
410 - Scripts now force the Plack engine choice manually, rather than relying
411 on auto-detection, as the automatic mechanism gets it wrong if (for
412 example) Coro is loaded.
414 - Server script option for --fork --keepalive are now handled by loading
415 the Starman server, rather than silently ignored.
417 - Server script options for --background and --pid are now fixed by
418 using MooseX::Deamonize
420 - Plack middlewares to deal with issues in Lighttpd and IIS6 are now
421 automatically applied to applications and deployments which need them
422 (when there is not a user written .psgi script available).
423 This fixes compatibility with previous stable releases for applications
424 deployed in these environments.
428 - Catalyst::Test's remote_request method not uses Plack::Test to perform
432 - Added a Catalyst::PSGI manual page with information about writing a .psgi
433 file for your application.
435 - Catalyst::Uprading has been improved, and the status of old Catalyst
439 - Catalyst::Test's local_request function is now deprecated. You should just
440 use the normal request function against a local server instead.
442 5.80033 2011-07-24 16:09:00
445 - Fix Catalyst::Request so that the hostname accessor is not incorrectly
446 populated with 'localhost' if a reverse DNS lookup fails.
448 - Fix Path actions debug screen to display number of arguments
450 - Fix a regression that prevented configuring attributes for all actions using
451 ->config(actions => { '*' => \%attrs }) from working
453 - Append $\ in Catalyst::Response->print to more closely match
454 IO::Handle's behaviour.
456 - Fixed situation where a detach($action) from a forward within auto
457 was not breaking out correctly
459 - Fix the disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config setting
460 to also work in the $c->component method.
462 - Handle users setting cookies with an undef value by not trying to
463 output that cookie (rather than trying to do so and causing an exception
464 as previously happened). A warning is logged if this occurs in debug
466 - Update tests to ignore $ENV{CATALYST_HOME} where required
468 - Change repository metadata to point at git.
470 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Request::Upload
472 - Catalyst::Test: Fixes to action_ok, action_redirect and action_notfound
473 test functions to be better documented, and have better default test
476 - Update tests to ignore CATALYST_HOME env var.
478 5.89002 2011-03-02 11:30:00 (TRIAL release)
481 - Fix a couple of test failures caused by optional dependencies such as FCGI
485 - Simplified the API for getting a PSGI application code reference for a
486 Catalyst application for use in, for example, .psgi files. See
487 Catalyst::Upgrading for details.
489 5.89001 2011-03-01 15:27:00 (TRIAL release)
492 - Fixed command-line argument passing in Catalyst::Script::FastCGI.
494 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
495 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
496 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
498 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
501 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
502 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
503 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
504 the new major version of Catalyst.
507 - The section of Catalyst::Upgrading describing how to upgrade to version 5.90
508 of Catalyst has been much improved.
510 5.80032 2011-02-23 01:10:00
513 - Fix compatibility issue with code which was testing the value of
514 $c->res->body multiple times. Previously this would cause the value
515 to be built, and ergo cause the $c->res->has_body predicate to start
517 Having a response body is indicated by $c->res->body being defined.
519 - Fix bug with calling $upload->slurp multiple times in one request
520 not working as expected as the file handle wasn't returned to
521 the zero position. (Adam Sjøgren)
523 - Fix some weird perl 5.8 situations where $c can get squashed unexpectedly
526 - Fix chained dispatch where chains were being compared for length (number
527 of private parts in the chain) vs where they are being compared for
528 PathPart length (i.e. number of non-capturing URI elements in your path).
530 This bug meant that sometimes multiple Args or CaptureArgs (e.g. /*/*)
531 type paths would be preferred to those with fixed path elements
535 - Add MYAPP_RESTARTER and CATALYST_RESTARTER environment variables to
536 allow the restarter class to be chosen per application or generally.
538 This feature was added to enable GUI restarters (such as the soon to
539 be released CatalystX::Restarter::GTK to be enabled more easily by
540 developers without changing their application code.
542 5.80031 2011-01-31 08:13:02
545 - Update dependency on MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to ensure that
546 a version which can deal with / depends on a new Package::Stash
547 is installed. (As if some other dependency is pulled in during upgrading
548 which results in new Package::Stash, then it can leave you with a broken
549 version of MooseX::Role::WithOverloading.
551 - Fix undef warning in Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI when writing an empty
552 body (e.g. doing a redirect)
554 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
556 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
560 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
561 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
562 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
563 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
564 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
565 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
566 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
568 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
569 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
570 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
571 class, please tell us *now*.
573 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
576 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
578 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
579 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
580 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
581 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
582 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
583 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
586 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
587 the Content-Length header appropriately)
588 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
589 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
590 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
591 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
592 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
593 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
595 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
596 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
597 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
598 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
599 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
600 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
601 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
602 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
605 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
606 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
608 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
611 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
612 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
616 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
617 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
619 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
622 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
624 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
625 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
627 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
629 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
632 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
634 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
637 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
638 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
639 load Utils before MyApp.pm
641 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
644 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
646 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
647 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
648 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
649 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
650 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
652 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
655 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
656 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
657 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
660 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
661 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
666 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
669 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
672 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
673 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
674 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
675 the default action creation.
678 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
679 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
680 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
681 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
682 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
683 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
684 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
687 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
689 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
691 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
693 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
696 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
697 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
698 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
699 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
700 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
703 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
704 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
707 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
708 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
709 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
710 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
712 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
715 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
716 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
717 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
718 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
719 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
720 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
721 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
722 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
725 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
726 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
727 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
729 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
730 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
731 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
732 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
735 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
736 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
739 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
740 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
743 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
746 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
747 the content type and content length if available.
749 Refactoring / optimizations:
750 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
751 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
752 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
753 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
754 screen as easy to write.
755 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
756 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
757 in parameter filtering (for example).
758 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
759 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
760 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
761 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
762 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
765 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
766 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
767 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
768 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
770 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
773 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
774 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
776 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
779 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
780 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
782 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
785 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
786 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
787 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
788 which should not be encoded.
789 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
790 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
792 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
793 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
794 any set of args/captures.
796 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
797 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
799 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
803 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
805 - Various minor typo fixes.
808 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
810 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
813 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
814 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
815 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
818 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
819 - Clarify documentation about debug
822 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
823 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
824 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
826 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
829 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
830 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
834 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
835 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
837 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
838 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
839 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
840 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
841 argv key in the options hash.
842 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
843 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
844 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
845 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
847 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
851 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
852 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
853 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
854 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
855 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
857 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
861 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
862 encoding test controller.
864 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
866 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
867 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
868 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
869 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
871 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
872 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
873 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
874 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
875 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
877 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
881 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
882 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
883 less packed with information of no use.
887 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
889 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
891 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
892 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
893 the single character '0'.
894 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
897 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
898 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
899 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
901 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
903 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
904 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
905 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
906 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
907 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
908 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
909 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
910 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
911 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
912 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
913 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
914 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
916 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
917 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
919 Refactoring / cleanups:
920 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
921 (and then skipped) normally.
924 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
926 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
929 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
930 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
931 on the old behaviour.
933 Refactoring / cleanups:
934 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
935 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
937 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
940 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
941 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
942 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
943 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
944 as there is no recommended alternative.
945 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
946 fallback for fully qualified component names.
947 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
948 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
949 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
950 startup, rather than with the first hit.
951 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
952 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
953 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
954 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
955 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
956 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
957 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
958 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
961 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
962 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
963 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
964 deprecated and causes warnings).
965 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
966 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
967 in the correct order.
968 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
970 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
971 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
972 is deprecated (RT#51489)
975 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
976 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
977 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
978 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
979 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
981 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
982 exception classes need to implement.
983 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
984 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
987 Refactoring / cleanups:
988 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
989 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
990 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
991 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
992 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
993 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
994 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
996 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
999 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
1000 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
1001 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
1002 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
1004 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
1005 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
1006 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
1009 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
1010 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
1013 Refactoring / cleanups:
1014 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
1015 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
1016 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
1017 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
1018 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
1020 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
1023 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
1024 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
1025 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
1026 now loaded at most once + tests.
1027 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
1028 is returned to 'actions'.
1029 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
1030 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
1032 Refactoring / cleanups:
1033 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
1034 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
1037 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
1038 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
1039 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
1041 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
1044 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
1045 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
1048 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
1051 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
1052 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
1053 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
1055 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
1058 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
1059 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
1060 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
1062 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
1065 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
1066 application class immutable without that option.
1067 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
1068 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
1070 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
1071 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
1072 (hopefully) future versions.
1073 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
1074 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
1075 variables (RT#48555)
1076 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
1078 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
1079 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
1080 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
1081 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
1082 Request-URI of the Request-Line
1084 Refactoring / cleanups:
1085 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
1086 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
1087 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
1088 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
1089 known issues with 5.8.3.
1090 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
1091 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
1094 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
1095 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
1096 for the controller namespace
1097 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
1098 expand_component_module (rjbs)
1099 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
1100 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
1101 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
1102 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
1104 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
1105 frontend port (jshirley)
1106 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
1110 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
1111 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
1112 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
1113 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
1116 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
1119 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
1120 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
1121 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
1123 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
1124 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
1125 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
1126 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
1127 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
1128 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
1132 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
1133 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
1134 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
1137 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
1140 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
1141 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
1143 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
1144 in some environments.
1145 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
1146 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
1147 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
1148 except works correctly with closures.
1149 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
1150 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
1151 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
1152 (jasonk in RT#42816)
1153 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
1154 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
1155 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
1158 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
1159 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
1160 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
1161 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
1162 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
1163 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
1165 Refactoring / cleanups:
1166 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
1167 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
1168 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
1169 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
1171 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
1172 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
1173 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
1175 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
1176 again in Catalyst::Test
1178 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
1181 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
1182 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
1185 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
1188 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
1189 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
1190 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
1192 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
1195 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
1196 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
1199 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
1200 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
1204 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
1205 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
1206 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
1207 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
1208 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
1210 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
1211 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
1212 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
1213 controller naming. (random)
1214 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
1215 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
1216 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
1217 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
1218 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
1220 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
1222 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
1223 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
1224 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
1226 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
1227 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
1228 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
1229 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
1230 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
1231 to report 'Unknown Error'
1232 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
1233 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
1234 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
1235 parse_on_demand is on
1237 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
1238 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
1239 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
1240 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to

1248 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
1249 Test::Aggregate is available.
1250 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
1251 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
1252 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
1253 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
1254 disabling functionality from base controllers.

1266 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
1267 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
1268 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
1270 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
1271 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
1272 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
1273 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
1274 configuration in your application.
1276 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
1277 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one

1302 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
1304 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
1305 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
1307 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
1308 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
1309 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
1310 tries to chain to itself
1312 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
1313 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
1314 - Tests for this (radek)
1315 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
1316 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
1317 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
1318 - Tests for this (radek)

1327 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
1329 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
1330 in production versions
1331 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
1332 the correct metaclass
1333 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
1334 the restarter process
1335 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
1336 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
1338 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
1339 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
1340 immutable restart correctly.
1342 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
1343 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

1355 - Add $c->uri_for_action method.
1356 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
1357 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action

1359 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
1360 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
1361 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
1362 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
1364 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
1365 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
1366 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex

1403 - Fix request argumentss getting corrupted if you override the
1404 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
1405 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

1416 Catalyst::Dispatcher
1417 - Replace {_body} instance access with calls to _body accessors

1425 method in a plugin, as used by Catalyst::Plugin::Server
1427 - Fix assignment to Catalyst::Dispatcher's preload_dispatch_types and
1428 postload_dispatch_types attributes - assigning a list should later
1429 return a listref. Fixes Catalyst::Plugin::Server.
1431 - Change streaming test to serve itself rather than 01use.t, making
1432 test sync for engines easier

1452 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
1453 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
1454 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
1455 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1577 throw warnings for two reasons:
1578 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
1579 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

1626 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1627 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
