1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
4 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
5 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
6 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
7 the default action creation.
10 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
11 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
14 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
16 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
18 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
20 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
23 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
24 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
25 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
26 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
27 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
30 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
31 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
34 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
35 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
36 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
39 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
42 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
43 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
44 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
45 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
46 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
47 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
48 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
49 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
52 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
53 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
54 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
56 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
57 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
58 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
59 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
62 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
63 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
66 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
67 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
70 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
73 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
74 the content type and content length if available.
76 Refactoring / optimizations:
77 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
78 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
79 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
80 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
81 screen as easy to write.
82 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
83 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
84 in parameter filtering (for example).
85 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
86 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
87 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
88 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
89 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
92 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
93 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
94 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
95 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
97 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
100 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
101 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
103 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
106 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
107 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
109 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
112 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
113 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
114 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
115 which should not be encoded.
116 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
117 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
119 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
120 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
121 any set of args/captures.
123 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
124 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
126 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
130 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
132 - Various minor typo fixes.
135 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
137 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
140 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
141 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
142 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
145 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
146 - Clarify documentation about debug
149 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
150 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
151 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
153 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
156 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
157 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
161 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
162 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
164 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
165 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
166 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
167 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
168 argv key in the options hash.
169 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
170 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
171 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
172 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
174 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
178 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
179 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
180 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
181 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
182 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
184 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
188 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
189 encoding test controller.
191 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
193 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
194 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
195 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
196 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
198 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
199 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
200 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
201 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
202 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
204 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
208 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
209 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
210 less packed with information of no use.
214 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
216 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
218 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
219 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
220 the single character '0'.
221 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
224 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
225 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
226 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
228 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
230 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
231 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
232 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
233 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
234 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
235 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
236 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
237 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
238 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
239 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
240 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
241 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
243 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
244 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
246 Refactoring / cleanups:
247 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
248 (and then skipped) normally.
251 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
253 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
256 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
257 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
258 on the old behaviour.
260 Refactoring / cleanups:
261 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
262 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
264 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
267 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
268 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
269 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
270 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
271 as there is no recommended alternative.
272 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
273 fallback for fully qualified component names.
274 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
275 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
276 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
277 startup, rather than with the first hit.
278 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
279 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
280 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
281 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
282 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
283 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
284 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
285 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
288 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
289 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
290 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
291 deprecated and causes warnings).
292 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
293 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
294 in the correct order.
295 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
297 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
298 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
299 is deprecated (RT#51489)
302 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
303 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
304 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
305 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
306 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
308 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
309 exception classes need to implement.
310 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
311 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
314 Refactoring / cleanups:
315 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
316 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
317 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
318 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
319 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
320 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
321 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
323 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
326 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
327 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
328 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
329 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
331 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
332 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
333 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
336 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
337 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
340 Refactoring / cleanups:
341 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
342 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
343 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
344 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
345 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
347 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
350 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
351 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
352 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
353 now loaded at most once + tests.
354 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
355 is returned to 'actions'.
356 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
357 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
359 Refactoring / cleanups:
360 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
361 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
364 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
365 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
366 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
368 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
371 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
372 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
375 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
378 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
379 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
380 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
382 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
385 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
386 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
387 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
389 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
392 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
393 application class immutable without that option.
394 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
395 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
397 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
398 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
399 (hopefully) future versions.
400 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
401 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
403 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
405 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
406 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
407 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
408 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
409 Request-URI of the Request-Line
411 Refactoring / cleanups:
412 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
413 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
414 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
415 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
416 known issues with 5.8.3.
417 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
418 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
421 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
422 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
423 for the controller namespace
424 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
425 expand_component_module (rjbs)
426 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
427 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
428 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
429 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
431 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
432 frontend port (jshirley)
433 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
437 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
438 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
439 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
440 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
443 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
446 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
447 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
448 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
450 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
451 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
452 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
453 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
454 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
455 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
459 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
460 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
461 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
464 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
467 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
468 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
470 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
471 in some environments.
472 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
473 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
474 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
475 except works correctly with closures.
476 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
477 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
478 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
480 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
481 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
482 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
485 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
486 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
487 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
488 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
489 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
490 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
492 Refactoring / cleanups:
493 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
494 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
495 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
496 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
498 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
499 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
500 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
502 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
503 again in Catalyst::Test
505 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
508 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
509 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
512 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
515 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
516 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
517 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
519 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
522 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
523 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
526 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
527 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
531 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
532 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
533 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
534 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
535 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
537 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
538 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
539 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
540 controller naming. (random)
541 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
542 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
543 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
544 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
545 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
547 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
549 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
550 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
551 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
553 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues
554 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.10 and use
555 Moose::Meta::Class->initialize rather than Moose->init_meta to fix
556 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
557 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
558 to report 'Unknown Error'
559 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
560 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA
561 - Fix calling $c->req->parameters as the first thing you do when
562 parse_on_demand is on
564 5.80003 2009-04-29 16:23:53
565 - Various POD tweaks. (hdp, dandv)
566 - Fix formatting error in the regex fallback warning.
567 - Convert the dispatcher's and restarter engine's BUILD method to
568 attribute builders to not override the BUILD method from
569 MooseX::Emulate::Class::Accessor::Fast.
570 - Fix classes without metaclasses restarting, when not using
571 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange
572 - Fix the unattached chain debug table for endpoints with no
574 - Turn off test aggregation by default. Only aggregate if the
575 AGGREGATE_TESTS environment variable is set and a recent
576 Test::Aggregate is available.
577 - Bump to MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.09, to gain the
578 get_nearest_methods_with_attributes method allowing methods without
579 attributes in a subclass to override those with attributes in a
580 superclass. This fixes CatalystX::CRUD's method of overriding /
581 disabling functionality from base controllers.
582 - Bump HTTP::Request::AsCGI dependency to avoid broken version
583 - Bump Moose dependency to latest version to fix metaclass
584 incompatibility issues in some cases.
585 - Additional tests for setup_stats method.
586 - Fix log levels in Catalyst::Log to be properly additive.
587 - Fix RT#43375 by sorting results before testing them
588 - Fixes for uri_for_action when using Catalyst::DispatchType::Regex
589 + tests from RT#39369 (norbi)
590 - Partial rewrite and reoganisation of the C3 docs in
591 Catalyst::Upgrading based on feedback from kiffin
592 - If you make your application class immutable and turn off
593 constructor inlining, Catalyst will die and tell you pass
594 the (replace_constructor => 1) argument to
595 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
597 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
598 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
599 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.
600 They now force debugging on or off, taking precedence over
601 configuration in your application.

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

615 ::DispatchType::Chained varies according to your terminal width
617 - Fix warning message about linearized @ISA in Catalyst::Component
619 - Require MX::MethodAttributes 0.06 to avoid issues with saying
620 use base 'Catalyst::Controller'; use Moose; losing actions
621 - Fix all of's typos in ::Upgrading and ::Delta (hobbs)
623 5.80001 2009-04-18 22:18

625 warning on recent Moose versions.
626 - Add delta documentation
627 - Clean up recursion errors
628 - Extra cross links in dispatch types POD (Ian Wells)
629 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
631 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
632 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
634 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
635 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
636 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
637 tries to chain to itself
639 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
640 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
641 - Tests for this (radek)
642 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
643 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
644 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
645 - Tests for this (radek)
646 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
647 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
648 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)
649 - Change the warning when you have conflicting components to
651 - Move NEXT use and testing deprecated features out to its own
652 test application so that the main TestApp isn't polluted with
654 - Add a warning for the old ::[MVC]:: style naming scheme
656 - Kill Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT warnings for the Catalyst:: namespace
657 in production versions
658 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
659 the correct metaclass
660 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
661 the restarter process
662 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
663 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
665 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
666 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
667 immutable restart correctly.
669 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
670 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

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