4 - Additional fix for getting the base application path right when rewriting
5 requests into an application sub path with mod_alias and mod_rewrite on
7 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
8 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
9 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
10 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
11 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
12 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
13 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
14 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
17 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
18 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
19 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
21 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
22 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
25 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
26 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
28 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
31 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
32 the content type and content length if available.
34 Refactoring / optimizations:
35 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
36 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
37 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
38 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
39 screen as easy to write.
40 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
41 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
42 in parameter filtering (for example).
43 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
44 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
45 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
46 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
47 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
50 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
51 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
52 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
53 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
55 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
58 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characterss in captures
59 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
61 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
64 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
65 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
67 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
70 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
71 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
72 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
73 which should not be encoded.
74 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
75 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
77 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
78 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
79 any set of args/captures.
81 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
82 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
84 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
88 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
90 - Various minor typo fixes.
93 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
95 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
98 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
99 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
100 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
103 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
104 - Clarify documentation about debug
107 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
108 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
109 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
111 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
114 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
115 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
119 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
120 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
122 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
123 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
124 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
125 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
126 argv key in the options hash.
127 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
128 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
129 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
130 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
132 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
136 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
137 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
138 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
139 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
140 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
142 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
146 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
147 encoding test controller.
149 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
151 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
152 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
153 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
154 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
156 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
157 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
158 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
159 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
160 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
162 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
166 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
167 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
168 less packed with information of no use.
172 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
174 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
176 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
177 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
178 the single character '0'.
179 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
182 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
183 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
184 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
186 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
188 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
189 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
190 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
191 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
192 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
193 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
194 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
195 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
196 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
197 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
198 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
199 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
201 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
202 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
204 Refactoring / cleanups:
205 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
206 (and then skipped) normally.
209 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
211 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
214 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
215 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
216 on the old behaviour.
218 Refactoring / cleanups:
219 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
220 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
222 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
225 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
226 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
227 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
228 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
229 as there is no recommended alternative.
230 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
231 fallback for fully qualified component names.
232 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
233 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
234 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
235 startup, rather than with the first hit.
236 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
237 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
238 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
239 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
240 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
241 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
242 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
243 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
246 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
247 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
248 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
249 deprecated and causes warnings).
250 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
251 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
252 in the correct order.
253 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
255 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
256 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
257 is deprecated (RT#51489)
260 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
261 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
262 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
263 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
264 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
266 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
267 exception classes need to implement.
268 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
269 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
272 Refactoring / cleanups:
273 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
274 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
275 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
276 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
277 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
278 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
279 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
281 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
284 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
285 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
286 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
287 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
289 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
290 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
291 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
294 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
295 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
298 Refactoring / cleanups:
299 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
300 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
301 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
302 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
303 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
305 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
308 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
309 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
310 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
311 now loaded at most once + tests.
312 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
313 is returned to 'actions'.
314 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
315 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
317 Refactoring / cleanups:
318 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
319 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
322 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
323 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
324 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
326 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
329 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
330 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
333 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
336 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
337 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
338 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
340 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
343 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
344 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
345 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
347 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
350 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
351 application class immutable without that option.
352 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
353 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
355 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
356 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
357 (hopefully) future versions.
358 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
359 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
361 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
363 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
364 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
365 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
366 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
367 Request-URI of the Request-Line
369 Refactoring / cleanups:
370 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
371 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
372 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
373 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
374 known issues with 5.8.3.
375 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
376 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
379 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
380 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
381 for the controller namespace
382 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
383 expand_component_module (rjbs)
384 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
385 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
386 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
387 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
389 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
390 frontend port (jshirley)
391 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
395 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
396 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
397 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
398 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
401 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
404 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
405 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
406 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
408 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
409 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
410 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
411 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
412 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
413 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
417 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
418 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
419 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
422 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
425 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
426 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
428 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
429 in some environments.
430 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
431 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
432 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
433 except works correctly with closures.
434 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
435 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
436 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
438 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
439 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
440 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
443 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
444 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
445 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
446 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
447 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
448 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
450 Refactoring / cleanups:
451 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
452 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
453 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
454 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
456 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
457 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
458 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
460 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
461 again in Catalyst::Test
463 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
466 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
467 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
470 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
473 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
474 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
475 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
477 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
480 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
481 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
484 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
485 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
489 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
490 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
491 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
492 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
493 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
495 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
496 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
497 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
498 controller naming. (random)
499 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
500 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
501 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
502 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
503 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
505 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
507 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
508 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
509 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
511 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
512 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
513 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
514 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
515 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
516 to report 'Unknown Error'
517 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
518 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
519 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
520 parse_on_demand is on
522 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
523 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
524 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
525 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
526 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
527 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
528 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
529 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
530 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
532 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
533 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
534 Test::Aggregate is available.
535 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
536 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
537 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
538 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
539 disabling functionality from base controllers.
540 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
541 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
542 incompatibility issues in some cases.
543 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
544 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
545 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
546 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
547 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
548 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
549 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
550 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
551 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
552 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
553 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
555 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
556 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
557 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
558 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
559 configuration in your application.
561 - pass replace_constructor to the immutable call to ensure
562 applications get a Moose constructor rather than a C::A one
563 - Fix issues with restarting the application class due to C3 failures
565 - Work around issues in Moose with initialization order of multiple
566 levels of non-Moose classes inheriting from a Moose class
568 - Add backwards compatibility method for Catalyst::Log->body, which
569 has been made private
570 - Fix so that calling $c->req->parameters(undef) does not flatten
571 the request parameters with undef + test
572 - Fix so that width of table of unattached actions for debugging
573 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
575 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
577 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
578 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
579 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
581 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18
582 - Don't inline the constructor for Catalyst::Log to avoid a
583 warning on recent Moose versions.
584 - Add delta documentation
585 - Clean up recursion errors
586 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
587 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
589 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
590 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
592 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
593 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
594 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
595 tries to chain to itself
597 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
598 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
599 - Tests for this (radek)
600 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
601 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
602 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
603 - Tests for this (radek)
604 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
605 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

612 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
614 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
615 in production versions
616 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
617 the correct metaclass
618 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
619 the restarter process
620 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
621 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
623 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
624 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
625 immutable restart correctly.

644 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
645 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
646 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
647 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
649 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
650 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
651 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
654 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.
