4 - Add a --proc_title option to the FCGI script to set the process
8 - Deal correctly with GLOB file handles in the response body (setting
9 the Content-Length header appropriately)
12 - Clarify that when forwarding or detaching, the end action associated
13 with the original dispatched action will be run afterwards (fallen)
15 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
18 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
19 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
23 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
24 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
26 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
29 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
31 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
32 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
34 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
36 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
39 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
41 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
44 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
45 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
46 load Utils before MyApp.pm
48 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
51 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
53 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
54 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
55 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
56 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
57 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
59 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
62 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
63 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
64 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
67 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
68 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
73 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
76 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
79 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
80 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
81 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
82 the default action creation.
85 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
86 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
87 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
88 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
89 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
90 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
91 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
94 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
96 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
98 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
100 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
103 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
104 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
105 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
106 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
107 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
110 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
111 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
114 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
115 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
116 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
117 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
119 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
122 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
123 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
124 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
125 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
126 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
127 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
128 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
129 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
132 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
133 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
134 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
136 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
137 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
138 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
139 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
142 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
143 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
146 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
147 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
150 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
153 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
154 the content type and content length if available.
156 Refactoring / optimizations:
157 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
158 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
159 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
160 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
161 screen as easy to write.
162 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
163 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
164 in parameter filtering (for example).
165 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
166 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
167 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
168 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
169 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
172 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
173 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
174 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
175 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
177 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
180 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
181 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
183 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
186 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
187 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
189 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
192 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
193 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
194 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
195 which should not be encoded.
196 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
197 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
199 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
200 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
201 any set of args/captures.
203 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
204 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
206 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
210 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
212 - Various minor typo fixes.
215 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
217 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
220 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
221 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
222 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
225 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
226 - Clarify documentation about debug
229 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
230 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
231 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
233 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
236 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
237 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
241 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
242 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
244 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
245 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
246 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
247 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
248 argv key in the options hash.
249 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
250 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
251 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
252 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
254 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
258 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
259 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
260 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
261 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
262 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
264 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
268 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
269 encoding test controller.
271 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
273 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
274 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
275 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
276 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
278 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
279 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
280 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
281 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
282 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
284 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
288 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
289 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
290 less packed with information of no use.
294 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
296 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
298 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
299 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
300 the single character '0'.
301 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
304 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
305 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
306 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
308 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
310 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
311 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
312 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
313 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
314 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
315 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
316 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
317 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
318 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
319 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
320 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
321 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
323 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
324 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
326 Refactoring / cleanups:
327 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
328 (and then skipped) normally.
331 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
333 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
336 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
337 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
338 on the old behaviour.
340 Refactoring / cleanups:
341 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
342 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
344 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
347 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
348 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
349 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
350 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
351 as there is no recommended alternative.
352 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
353 fallback for fully qualified component names.
354 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
355 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
356 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
357 startup, rather than with the first hit.
358 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
359 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
360 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
361 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
362 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
363 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
364 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
365 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
368 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
369 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
370 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
371 deprecated and causes warnings).
372 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
373 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
374 in the correct order.
375 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
377 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
378 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
379 is deprecated (RT#51489)
382 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
383 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
384 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
385 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
386 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
388 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
389 exception classes need to implement.
390 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
391 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
394 Refactoring / cleanups:
395 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
396 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
397 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
398 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
399 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
400 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
401 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
403 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
406 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
407 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
408 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
409 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
411 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
412 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
413 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
416 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
417 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
420 Refactoring / cleanups:
421 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
422 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
423 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
424 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
425 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
427 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
430 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
431 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
432 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
433 now loaded at most once + tests.
434 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
435 is returned to 'actions'.
436 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
437 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
439 Refactoring / cleanups:
440 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
441 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
444 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
445 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
446 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
448 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
451 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
452 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
455 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
458 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
459 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
460 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
462 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
465 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
466 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
467 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
469 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
472 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
473 application class immutable without that option.
474 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
475 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
477 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
478 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
479 (hopefully) future versions.
480 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
481 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
483 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
485 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
486 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
487 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
488 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
489 Request-URI of the Request-Line
491 Refactoring / cleanups:
492 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
493 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
494 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
495 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
496 known issues with 5.8.3.
497 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
498 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
501 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
502 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
503 for the controller namespace
504 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
505 expand_component_module (rjbs)
506 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
507 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
508 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
509 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
511 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
512 frontend port (jshirley)
513 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
517 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
518 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
519 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
520 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
523 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
526 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
527 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
528 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
530 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
531 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
532 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
533 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
534 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
535 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
539 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
540 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
541 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
544 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
547 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
548 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
550 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
551 in some environments.
552 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
553 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
554 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
555 except works correctly with closures.
556 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
557 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
558 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
560 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
561 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
562 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
565 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
566 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
567 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
568 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
569 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
570 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
572 Refactoring / cleanups:
573 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
574 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
575 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
576 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
578 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
579 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
580 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
582 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
583 again in Catalyst::Test
585 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
588 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
589 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
592 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
595 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
596 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
597 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
599 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
602 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
603 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
606 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
607 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
611 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
612 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
613 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
614 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
615 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
617 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
618 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
619 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
620 controller naming. (random)

636 bugs related to having a 'meta' method in your controller
637 - Fix cases where your application failing to compile could cause perl
638 to report 'Unknown Error'

675 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
677 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
678 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
679 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

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

714 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
715 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
716 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
717 tries to chain to itself
719 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
720 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
721 - Tests for this (radek)
722 - Fix _invoke_as_component method to find the proper action instance
723 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
724 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
725 - Tests for this (radek)
726 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
727 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)
728 - debug() POD rewrite (jhannah)

737 in production versions
738 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
739 the correct metaclass
740 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
741 the restarter process
742 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
743 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
745 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
746 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
747 immutable restart correctly.
749 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
750 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm
751 - Clarify that request arguments aren't unescaped automatically

763 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
764 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
765 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
766 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
767 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
768 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
769 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
771 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
772 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
773 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
776 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

811 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
812 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

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

1033 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1034 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
