1 # This file documents the revision history for Perl extension Catalyst.
3 - Fixed Catalyst::Engine::Stomp compatibility. Applications using
4 Catalyst::Engine::Stomp are believed to continue working without
5 any changes with the new Catalyst major version.
7 - Fixed issues auto-loading engine with older scripts.
9 - Catalyst::Engine::Wx is officially unsupported and BROKEN. If you
10 are using this engine then please get in touch with us and we'll
11 be happy to help with the changes it needs to be compatible with
12 the new major version of Catalyst.
14 - XXX removal of engine_class?
15 - XXX removal of setup_engine($name)?
17 5.89000 2011-01-24 09:28:45 (TRIAL release)
19 This is a development release from psgi branch of Catalyst-Runtime.
23 - All of the Catalyst::Engine::* namespace is now gone. Instead we only have
24 one Catalyst::Engine class speaking the PSGI protocol natively. Everything
25 the various Catalyst::Engine:: classes did before is now supposed to happen
26 through PSGI handlers such as Plack::Handler::FCGI,
27 Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::PSGI, Plack::Handler::Apache2, and so
28 on. However, deployment can still work the same as it did before. The
29 catalyst scripts still exist and continue to work.
31 If you find anything that either doesn't work anymore as it did before or
32 anything that could be done before with the various Catalyst::Engine::
33 classes, but can't be done anymore with the single PSGI Catalyst::Engine
34 class, please tell us *now*.
36 5.80030 2011-01-04 13:13:02
39 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
41 - Allow the response body to be set to `undef' explicitly to indicate the
42 absence of a body. It can be used to indicate that no body should be sent at
43 all and processing of views should be skipped. This is especially useful for
44 things like X-Sendfile, which now no longer require providing fake response
45 bodies to suppress view processing. In order for this to work, you will also
46 have upgrade Catalyst::Action::RenderView to at least version 0.15.
49 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
50 the Content-Length header appropriately)
51 - Chained dispatch has been fixed to always prefer paths
52 with the minimum number of captures (rather than the
53 maximum number of actions). This means that (for example)
54 a URI path /foo/* made out of 2 actions will take preference
55 to a URI path /*/* made out of 3 actions. Please check your applications
56 if you are using chained action and please write new test to report
58 - Stop relying on bugs in the pure-perl version of Package::Stash. New
59 versions of Package::Stash load Package::Stash::XS if
60 available. Package::Stash::XS fixes some of the bugs of the pure-perl
61 version, exposing our faulty assumption and breaking things. We now work
62 with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, both with and without
63 Package::Stash::XS being installed. Older versions of Catalyst-Runtime also
64 work with both old and new versions of Package::Stash, but only if
65 Package::Stash::XS is *not* installed.
68 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
69 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
71 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
74 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
75 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
79 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
80 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
82 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
85 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
87 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
88 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
90 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
92 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
95 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
97 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
100 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
101 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
102 load Utils before MyApp.pm
104 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
107 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
109 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
110 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
111 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
112 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
113 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
115 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
118 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
119 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
120 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
123 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
124 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
129 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
132 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
135 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
136 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
137 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
138 the default action creation.
141 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
142 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
143 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
144 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
145 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
146 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
147 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
150 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
152 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
154 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
156 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
159 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
160 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
161 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
162 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
163 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
166 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
167 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
170 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
171 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
172 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
173 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
175 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
178 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
179 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
180 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
181 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
182 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
183 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
184 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
185 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
188 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
189 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
190 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
192 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
193 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
194 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
195 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
198 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
199 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
202 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
203 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
206 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
209 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
210 the content type and content length if available.
212 Refactoring / optimizations:
213 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
214 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
215 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
216 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
217 screen as easy to write.
218 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
219 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
220 in parameter filtering (for example).
221 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
222 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
223 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
224 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
225 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
228 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
229 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
230 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
231 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
233 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
236 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
237 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
239 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
242 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
243 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
245 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
248 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
249 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
250 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
251 which should not be encoded.
252 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
253 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
255 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
256 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
257 any set of args/captures.
259 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
260 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
262 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
266 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
268 - Various minor typo fixes.
271 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
273 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
276 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
277 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
278 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
281 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
282 - Clarify documentation about debug
285 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
286 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
287 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
289 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
292 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
293 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
297 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
298 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
300 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
301 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
302 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
303 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
304 argv key in the options hash.
305 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
306 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
307 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
308 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
310 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
314 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
315 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
316 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
317 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
318 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
320 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
324 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
325 encoding test controller.
327 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
329 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
330 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
331 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
332 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
334 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
335 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
336 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
337 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
338 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
340 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
344 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
345 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
346 less packed with information of no use.
350 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
352 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
354 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
355 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
356 the single character '0'.
357 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
360 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
361 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
362 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
364 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
366 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
367 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
368 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
369 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
370 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
371 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
372 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
373 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
374 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
375 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
376 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
377 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
379 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
380 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
382 Refactoring / cleanups:
383 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
384 (and then skipped) normally.
387 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
389 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
392 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
393 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
394 on the old behaviour.
396 Refactoring / cleanups:
397 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
398 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
400 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
403 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
404 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
405 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
406 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
407 as there is no recommended alternative.
408 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
409 fallback for fully qualified component names.
410 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
411 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
412 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
413 startup, rather than with the first hit.
414 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
415 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
416 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
417 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
418 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
419 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
420 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
421 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
424 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
425 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
426 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
427 deprecated and causes warnings).
428 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
429 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
430 in the correct order.
431 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
433 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
434 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
435 is deprecated (RT#51489)
438 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
439 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
440 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
441 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
442 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
444 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
445 exception classes need to implement.
446 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
447 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
450 Refactoring / cleanups:
451 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
452 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
453 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
454 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
455 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
456 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
457 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
459 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
462 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
463 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
464 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
465 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
467 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
468 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
469 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
472 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
473 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
476 Refactoring / cleanups:
477 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
478 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
479 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
480 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
481 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
483 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
486 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
487 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
488 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
489 now loaded at most once + tests.
490 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
491 is returned to 'actions'.
492 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
493 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
495 Refactoring / cleanups:
496 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
497 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
500 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
501 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
502 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
504 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
507 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
508 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
511 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
514 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
515 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
516 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
518 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
521 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
522 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
523 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
525 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
528 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
529 application class immutable without that option.
530 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
531 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
533 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
534 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
535 (hopefully) future versions.
536 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
537 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
539 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
541 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
542 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
543 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
544 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
545 Request-URI of the Request-Line
547 Refactoring / cleanups:
548 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
549 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
550 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
551 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
552 known issues with 5.8.3.
553 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
554 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
557 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
558 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
559 for the controller namespace
560 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
561 expand_component_module (rjbs)
562 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
563 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
564 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
565 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
567 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
568 frontend port (jshirley)
569 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
573 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
574 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
575 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
576 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
579 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
582 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
583 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
584 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
586 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
587 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
588 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
589 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
590 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
591 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
595 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
596 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
597 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
600 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
603 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
604 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
606 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
607 in some environments.
608 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
609 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
610 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,

628 Refactoring / cleanups:
629 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
630 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw

632 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
634 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
635 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
636 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.

655 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
658 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
659 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
662 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
663 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
667 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)

693 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
694 to report 'Unknown Error'
695 - Support adding Moose::Roles to the plugin list. These are applied to
696 MyApp after plugins have been pushed onto @ISA

771 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
772 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
773 tries to chain to itself
775 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
776 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
777 - Tests for this (radek)

780 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
781 - Tests for this (radek)
782 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
783 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

797 the restarter process
798 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
799 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
801 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
802 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
803 immutable restart correctly.
805 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
806 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

821 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
822 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
823 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
824 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
825 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
827 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
828 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.

915 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
916 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler

1089 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1090 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
