3 5.80029 2010-10-03 16:39:00
6 - Add a warning when $c->view is called and cannot locate a default_view
7 or current_view. This clarifies the logging when ::RenderView gets
11 - Deal warning in with Moose >= 1.15 if you add a method called 'meta' to a
12 class which already has one by using _add_meta_method.
14 5.80028 2010-09-28 20:49:00
17 - use Class::MOP in Catalyst::Utils.
19 - Do not keep a reference to a closed over context in ctx_request, allowing
20 the caller to dispose of the request context at their leisure.
22 - Changes to be compatible with bleadperl
24 5.80027 2010-09-01 22:14:00
27 - Fix an issue with newly added test cases which depended on Catalyst::Action::RenderView
29 5.80026 2010-09-01 15:14:00
32 - Fix so that CATALYST_EXCEPTION_CLASS in MyApp is always respected by
33 not loading Catalyst::Exception in Utils.pm BEGIN, because some Scripts::*
34 load Utils before MyApp.pm
36 - Fix warnings with new Moose versions about "excludes" during role
39 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases.
41 - parse_on_demand fixed when used in conjunction with debug mode.
42 A regression was introduced in 5.80022 which would cause the body
43 to always be parsed for logging at the end of the request when in
44 debug mode. This has been fixed so that if the body has not been parsed
45 by the time the request is logged, then the body is omitted.
47 - Fix show_internal_actions config setting producing warnings in debug
50 - Make Catalyst::Test::local_request() set the response base from base href
51 in the returned document so that links can be resolved correctly by
52 Test::WWW::Mechanize::Catalyst
55 - moved component name sort that happens in setup_components to
56 locate_components to allow methods to wrap around locate_components
61 - Advertise Catalyst::Plugin::SmartURI
64 5.80025 2010-07-29 01:50:00
67 - An 'action_class' method has been added to Catalyst::Controller to
68 allow controller base classes, roles or traits
69 (e.g. Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) to more easily override
70 the default action creation.
73 - Fix the --mech and --mechanize options to the myapp_create.pl script
74 to operate correctly by fixing the options passed down into the script.
75 - Fix controllers with no method attributes (where the action definitions
76 are entirely contained in config). RT#58057
77 - Fix running as a CGI under IIS at non-root locations.
78 - Fix warning about "excludes" during role application
79 - Fix warning from MooseX::Getopt regarding duplicate "help" aliases
82 - Fix missing - in the docs when describing the --mechanize option at one
84 - Explained the common practice how to access the component's config
86 - Fixed typo in Catalyst/Script/Server.pm (RT #58474)
88 5.80024 2010-05-15 11:55:44
91 - Revert the path resolution behaviour to how it used to work before
92 Catalyst 5.80014_02, so that application paths are (by default)
93 resolved from $ENV{PATH_INFO} and $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME}. This fixes backward
94 compatibility breakage seen by a number of people since that release
95 with mod_rewrite and SSI.
98 - Add a use_request_uri_for_path config setting to optionally
99 use the (more correct) $ENV{REQUEST_URI} path resolution behaviour.
102 - Clarify the documentation for the Catalyst::Stats interface.
103 - Copious documentation about the use_request_uri_for_path feature
104 and the implications of setting this to true/false in
105 Catalyst::Engine::CGI
107 5.80023 2010-05-07 23:50:27
110 - Ensure to always cleanup temporary uploaded files in all cases, even
111 when exceptions occur during request processing, using HTTP::Body's
112 ->cleanup feature. (RT#41442)
113 - Ensure that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP's options hash is defined before
114 dereferencing it. (RT#49267)
115 - Fix regex special characters in REDIRECT_URL variable breaking
116 the request base. (2nd part of RT#24951)
117 - Fix not stripping backslashes in DispatchType::Regex::uri_for_action
120 - Setting __PACKAGE__->config(enable_catalyst_header => 1); in your MyApp.pm
121 now enables the X-Catalyst header being printed when not in debug mode.
122 - Require CGI::Simple::Cookie version 1.109 to ensure support for the
124 - Allow the myapp_test.pl script to be given a list of paths which it
125 will retrieve all of. (RT#53653)
126 - Allow parameterized roles to be applied as plugins.
127 - Allow requiring minimum versions of plugins when loading them.
130 - The Catalyst::Test::get method is documented as returning the raw
131 response bytes without any character decoding (RT#53678)
134 - Removal of $Catalyst::PRETTY_VERSION. Future releases will always have the
135 full and unmangled version number, including trailing zeroes, in
138 5.80022 2010-03-28 19:43:01
141 - Log an extra line in debug mode with the response status code,
142 the content type and content length if available.
144 Refactoring / optimizations:
145 - Display of the end of hit debug messages has been factored out into
146 log_headers, log_request, log_request_headers, log_response,
147 log_response_status_line and log_response_headers methods so that
148 plugins which customise how much information is shown on the debug
149 screen as easy to write.
150 - Make all logging of request and response state get the information from
151 $c->dump_these so that there is a unified point from which to hook
152 in parameter filtering (for example).
153 - $c->model/view/controller have become a lot faster for non-regexp names
154 by using direct hash lookup instead of looping.
155 - IP address => hostname mapping for the server is only done once and cached
156 by Catalyst::Engine::HTTP to somewhat mitigate the problem of people
157 developing on machines pointed at slow DNS servers.
160 - DispatchType::Index's uri_for_action only returns for actions registered
161 with it (prevents 'index :Path' or similar resolving to the wrong URI)
162 - Make sure to construct Upload objects properly, even if there are
163 multiple Content-Type headers (Closes RT#55976).
165 5.80021 2010-03-03 23:02:01
168 - $c->uri_for will now escape unsafe characters in captures
169 ($c->request->captures) and correctly encode utf8 charracters.
171 5.80020 2010-02-04 06:51:18
174 - Allow components to specify additional components to be set up by
175 overriding the expand_modules method. (Oliver Charles)
177 5.80019 2010-01-29 01:04:09
180 - Calls to $c->uri_for with private paths as strings (e.g.
181 $c->uri_for('controller/action', 'arg1', 'arg2') ) no longer have
182 / encoded to %2F. This is due to $c->uri_for('static', 'css/foo', $bar)
183 which should not be encoded.
184 Calls with an action object (rather than a string), or uri_for action
185 will still encode / in args and captures to %2F
187 - The above noted / => %2F encoding in uri_for_action or uri_for with
188 an action object has been fixed to not just encode the first slash in
189 any set of args/captures.
191 - nginx and lighttpd FCGI requests with URI encoded sections as the first
192 path part have been fixed to operate correctly.
194 - A source of bogus warnings in Catalyst::Component::BUILDARGS has been
198 - Improve the documentation about -Home and how Catalyst finds the home path
200 - Various minor typo fixes.
203 - Allow passing additional arguments to action constructors.
205 5.80018 2010-01-12 22:24:20
208 - Call ->canonical on URI derived from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} to get
209 paths correctly decoded. This bug was previously hidden by a bug
210 in HTTP::Request::AsCGI.
213 - Clarify that uri_for_action works on private paths, with example.
214 - Clarify documentation about debug
217 - Saying use Catalyst::Test; (without an application name or () to stop
218 the importer running is now deprecated and will issue a warning.
219 You should be saying use Catalyst::Test ();
221 5.80017 2010-01-10 02:27:29
224 - Fix docs for ->forward method when passed a class name - this should
225 be a component name (e.g. View::HTML, not a full class name, like
229 - --daemon and -d options to Catalyst::Script::FastCGI are fixed.
230 - Fix the debug dump for applications which use Catalyst::Plugin::Session
232 - Fix regression in the case where mod_rewrite is being used to rewrite
233 requests into a path below your application base introduced with the
234 %2F related fixes in 5.80014_02.
235 - Do not crash on SIGHUP if Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run is not passed the
236 argv key in the options hash.
237 - Correctly pass the arguments to Catalyst::Script::Server through to
238 Catalyst::Engine::HTTP->run so that the server can restart itself
239 with the correct options on SIGHUP.
240 - Require new MooseX::MethodAttributes to be compatible with Moose
242 - Require new MooseX::Role::WithOverloading to be compatible with Moose
246 - Stop suppressing warnings from Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT now that most plugins
247 have been updated to not use NEXT. If you get warnings then please upgrade
248 your components or log a bug with the component author if an upgrade is
249 not available. The Class::C3::Adopt::NEXT documentation contains information
250 about how to suppress the warnings in your application if you need to.
252 5.80016 2009-12-11 23:23:33
256 - Fix slurping a file to work correctly with binary on Win32 in the
257 encoding test controller.
259 Bug fixes in the new scripts (for applications which have been upgraded):
261 - Allow --restartdirectory as an option for the Server script, for
262 backwards compatibility. (Dave Rolsky)
263 - The --host option for the server script defaulted to localhost, rather
264 than listening on all interfaces, which was the previous default. (Dave
266 - Restore -p option for pid file in the FastCGI server script.
267 - Fix the script environment variables MYAPP_PORT and MYAPP_RELOAD RT#52604
268 - Fix aliasing applications under non-root paths with mod_rewrite in
269 some apache versions where %ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} is set to the real name of
270 the script, by using $ENV{REDIRECT_URL} which contains the non-rewritten
272 - Fix usage display when myapp_create.pl is run with no arguments. RT#52630
276 - The __MOP__ hash element is suppressed from being dumped fully
277 (and instead stringified) when dumping the error screen to be
278 less packed with information of no use.
282 - Fix Pod nits (RT#52370)
284 5.80015 2009-12-02 15:13:54
286 - Fix bug in Catalyst::Engine which would cause a request parsing to end
287 prematurely in the hypothetical case where calling $engine->read returned
288 the single character '0'.
289 - Fix failing tests when combined with new HTTP::Request::AsCGI
292 - Improved documentation on read and read_chunk methods in Catalyst::Engine.
293 - Fix reversal of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO in previously correct nginx
294 FastCGI documentation introduced in _02.
296 5.80014_02 2009-12-01 00:55:23
298 - Fix reporting the wrong Content-Length if the response body is an
299 upgraded string. Strings mean the same thing whether or not they are
300 upgraded, may get upgraded even after they are encoded, and will
301 produce the same output either way, but bytes::length returns too big
302 values for upgraded strings containing characters >127
303 - Fix t/live_fork.t with bleadperl (RT#52100)
304 - Set $ENV{PATH_INFO} from $ENV{REQUEST_URI} combined with
305 $ENV{SCRIPT_NAME} if possible. This is many web servers always fully
306 decode PATH_INFO including URI reserved characters. This allows us to
307 tell foo%2cbar from foo%252cbar, and fixes issues with %2F in paths
308 being incorrectly decoded, resulting in too many path parts (rather
309 than 1 path part containing a /, on some web servers (at least nginx).
311 - Require new HTTP::Request::AsCGI so that it fully decodes $ENV{PATH_INFO}
312 in non CGI contexts. (RT#50082)
314 Refactoring / cleanups:
315 - NoTabs and Pod tests moved to t/author so that they're not run
316 (and then skipped) normally.
319 - Fix Pod nits in Catalyst::Response (RT#51818)
321 5.80014_01 2009-11-22 20:01:23
324 - Filehandle now forced to binmode in CGI and FastCGI engines. This appears
325 to correct some UTF-8 issues, but may break people's code which relies
326 on the old behaviour.
328 Refactoring / cleanups:
329 - Plugins which inherit from Catalyst::Controller or Catalyst::Component
330 are deprecated and now issue warnings.
332 5.80014 2009-11-21 02:51:14
335 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.17. This in turn requires new
336 MooseX::Types to stop warnings in Moose 0.91, and correctly supports
337 role combination of roles containing attributed methods.
338 - Catalyst::Dispatcher::dispatch_types no longer throws deprecated warnings
339 as there is no recommended alternative.
340 - Improved the suggested fix warning when component resolution uses regex
341 fallback for fully qualified component names.
342 - Catalyst::Test::local_request sets ->request on the response.
343 - Log flush moved to the end of setup so that roles and plugins which
344 hook setup_finalize can log things and have them appear in application
345 startup, rather than with the first hit.
346 - Require a newer version of LWP to avoid failing tests.
347 - Stop warnings when actions are forwarded to during dispatch.
348 - Remove warnings for using Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_types as this is a
349 valid method to publicly call on the dispatcher.
350 - Args ($c->request->args) and CaptureArgs ($c->request->captrues)
351 passed to $c->uri_for with an action object ($c->action) will now
352 correctly round-trip when args or captures contain / as it is now
353 correctly uri encoded to %2F.
356 - Document no-args call to $c->uri_for.
357 - Document all top level application configuration parameters.
358 - Clarify how to fix actions in your application class (which is
359 deprecated and causes warnings).
360 - Pod fixes for ContextClosure.
361 - Fix documentation for go/visit to reference captures and arguments
362 in the correct order.
363 - Update $c->forward and $c->state documentation to address scalar
365 - Pod fix in Catalyst::Request (RT#51490)
366 - Pod fixes to refer to ::Controller:: rather than ::C:: as the latter
367 is deprecated (RT#51489)
370 - Added disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback config option to
371 switch off (deprecated) regex fallback for component resolution.
372 - Added an nginx-specific behavior to the FastCGI engine to allow
373 proper PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME processing for non-root applications
374 - Enable Catalyst::Utils::home() to find home within Dist::Zilla built
376 - Added the Catalyst::Exception::Interface role defining the interface
377 exception classes need to implement.
378 - Added Catalyst::Exception::Basic as a basic implementation of
379 Catalyst::Exception::Interface and made the existing exception classes
382 Refactoring / cleanups:
383 - Remove documentation for the case_sensitive setting
384 - Warning is now emitted at application startup if the case_sensitive
385 setting is turned on. This setting is not used by anyone, not
386 believed to be useful and adds unnecessary complexity to controllers
387 and the dispatcher. If you are using this setting and have good reasons
388 why it should stay then you need to be shouting, now.
389 - Writing to $c->req->body now fails as doing this never makes sense.
391 5.80013 2009-09-17 11:07:04
394 - Preserve immutable_options when temporarily making a class mutable in
395 Catalyst::ClassData as this is needed by new Class::MOP.
396 This could have potentially caused issues when using the deprecated runtime
397 plugins feature in an application with plugins which define their own new
399 - Require new Moose version and new versions of various dependencies
400 to avoid warnings from newest Moose release.
401 - Fix go / visit expecting captures and arguments in reverse order.
404 - Rework the $c->go documentation to make it more clear.
405 - Additional documentation in Catalyst::Upgrading covering more deprecation
408 Refactoring / cleanups:
409 - Action methods in the application class are deprecated and applications
410 using them will now generate a warning at startup.
411 - The -short option has been removed from catalyst.pl, stopping new
412 applications from being generated using the ::[MVC]:: naming scheme as
413 this is deprecated and generates warnings. RT#49771
415 5.80012 2009-09-09 19:09:09
418 - Fix t/optional_http-server.t test.
419 - Fix t/optional_http-server-restart.t test.
420 - Fix duplicate components being loaded at setup time, each component is
421 now loaded at most once + tests.
422 - Fix backward compatibility - hash key configured actions are stored in
423 is returned to 'actions'.
424 - Fix get_action_methods returning duplicate methods when a method is both
425 decorated with method attributes and set as an action in config.
427 Refactoring / cleanups:
428 - Reduce minimum supported perl version from 5.8.6 to 5.8.4 as there are
429 many people still running/testing this version with no known issues.
432 - Make the optional_http_server.t test an author only test which must be
433 run by authors to stop it being broken again.
434 - Fix recursion warnings in the test suites.
436 5.80011 2009-08-23 13:48:15
439 - Remove leftovers of the restarter engine. The removed code caused test
440 failures, which weren't apparent for anyone still having an old version
443 5.80010 2009-08-21 23:32:15
446 - Fix and add tests for a regression introduced by 5.80008.
447 Catalyst::Engine is now able to send out data from filehandles larger
448 than the default chunksize of 64k again.
450 5.80009 2009-08-21 22:21:08
453 - Fix and add tests for generating inner packages inside the COMPONENT
454 method, and those packages being correctly registered as components.
455 This fixes Catalyst::Model::DBIC among others.
457 5.80008 2009-08-21 17:47:30
460 - Fix replace_constructor warning to actually work if you make your
461 application class immutable without that option.
462 - Depend on Module::Pluggable 3.9 to prevent a bug wherein components
463 in inner packages might not be registered. This especially affected
465 - Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI - relax the check for versions of Microsoft
466 IIS. Provides compatibility with Windows 2008 R2 as well as
467 (hopefully) future versions.
468 - In tests which depend on the values of environment variables,
469 localise the environment, then delete only relevant environment
471 - Fix issue with Engine::HTTP not sending headers properly in some cases
473 - Make Catalyst::Engine write at least once when finalizing the response
474 body from a filehandle, even if the write is empty. This avoids fail
475 when trying to send out an empty response body from a filehandle.
476 - Catalyst::Engine::HTTP - Accept a fully qualified absolute URI in the
477 Request-URI of the Request-Line
479 Refactoring / cleanups:
480 - Deleted the Restarter engine and its Watcher code. Use the
481 new Catalyst::Restarter in a recent Catalyst::Devel instead.
482 - New unit test for Catalyst::Action 'unit_core_action.t'
483 - Bump minimum supported perl version from 5.8.1 to 5.8.6 as there are
484 known issues with 5.8.3.
485 - Debug output uses dynamic column sizing to create more readable output
486 when using a larger $ENV{COLUMNS} setting. (groditi)
489 - Added private_path method for Catalyst::Action
490 - Allow uri_for($controller_instance) which will produce a URI
491 for the controller namespace
492 - Break setup_components into two more parts: locate_components and
493 expand_component_module (rjbs)
494 - Allow Components to return anon classed from their COMPONENT method
495 correctly, and have action registration work on Controllers returned
496 as such by adding a catalyst_component_name accessor for all components
497 which returns the component instance's name to be used when building
499 - Adding X-Forwarded-Port to allow the frontend proxy to dictate the
500 frontend port (jshirley)
501 - Added Catalyst::Stats->created accessor for the time at the start of
505 - Fix POD to refer to ->config(key => $val), rather than
506 ->config->{key} = $val, as the latter form is deprecated.
507 - Clearer docs for the 'uri_for' method.
508 - Fix POD refering to CGI::Cookie. We're using CGI::Simple::Cookie.
511 5.80007 2009-06-30 23:54:34
514 - Don't mangle query parameters passed to uri_for
515 - Tests for this (Byron Young + Amir Sadoughi)
516 - Inherited controller methods can now be specified in
518 - Assigning an undef response body no longer produces warnings
519 - Fix C3 incompatibility bug caused if you use Moose in MyApp.pm and
520 add Catalyst to the right hand side of this in @ISA.
521 - Make Catalyst.pm implement the Component::ApplicationAttribute
522 interface so defining actions in MyApp.pm works again, if the
523 actions have attributes that cause $self->_application to be used
527 - Add optional second argument to uri_with which appends to existing
528 params rather than replacing them. (foo=1 becomes foo=1&foo=2 when
529 uri_with({ foo => 2 }, { mode => 'append' }) is called on a foo=1
532 5.80006 2009-06-29 23:37:47
535 - Revert change to URL encode things passed into $c->uri_for
536 Args and CaptureArgs as this causes breakage to pre-existing
538 - Remove use of Test::MockObject as it doesn't install from CPAN
539 in some environments.
540 - Remove use of dclone to deep copy configs and replace with
541 Catalyst::Utils::merge_hashes which has the same effect, of
542 ensuring child classes don't inherit their parent's config,
543 except works correctly with closures.
544 - Add Class::C3::reinitialize into Catalyst::Test to avoid weird
545 bugs in ctx_request (bokutin in RT#46459)
546 - Fix issues with _parse_PathPrefix_attr method in Catalyst::Controller
548 - Fix bugs with action sorting:
549 - Path actions sorted so that the most specific wins.
550 - Action methods named default and index fixed.
553 - Use ~ as prefix for plugins or action classes which are located in
554 MyApp::Plugin / MyApp::Action (mo)
555 - Controller methods without attributes are now considered actions if
556 they are specified in config->{action(s)} (mo)
557 - Add Catalyst::Component::ContextClosure as an easy way to create code
558 references, that close over the context, without creating leaks.
560 Refactoring / cleanups:
561 - Clean namespaces in Catalyst::Exception*.
562 - Turn Catalyst::Exception into an actual class and make the throw
563 method create instances of it. They can still be used as normal
564 strings, as before, as they are overloaded to stringify to their
566 - Add a rethrow method to Catalyst::Exception.
567 - Add Catalyst::Exception::Detach and ::Go, and refactor detach() and
568 go() to use them instead of magic, global strings.
570 - Clean up getting metaclass instance and making app class immutable
571 again in Catalyst::Test
573 5.80005 2009-06-06 14:40:00
576 - Arguments ($c->req->args) in Chained dispatch are now automatically
577 URL decoded to be consistent with Local/Path dispatch
580 - Clarify correct techniques for Moose controllers (domm)
583 - Further change pushing 'env' attribute down into Catalyst::Engine
584 to make $c->engine->env work in all cases (kmx)
585 - Also fix $c->engine->env in Catalyst::Test tests (kmx)
587 - Fix Catalyst failing to start if any plugin changed $_ whilst
590 - Be stricter about arguments to Args attributes for Chained actions,
591 so that they blow up on load instead of causing undefined behavior
594 - Prefer Path actions with a smaller (or set) number of Args (caelum)
595 Bug reported here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931653/catalyst-action-that-matches-a-single-file-in-the-root-directory/933181#933181
599 - Add $c->req->remote_user to disambiguate from $c->req->user (dwc)
600 - Require MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 so that action methods
601 (with attributes) can be used in / composed from Moose roles.
602 - Allow the generation of cookies with the HTTPOnly flag set
603 in Catalyst::Engine (kmx)
605 5.80004 2009-05-18 17:03:23
606 - Rename the actions attribute in Catalyt::Controller to
607 _controller_actions to avoid name clashes with application
608 controller naming. (random)
609 - Test for using Moose in components which have a non-Moose base class
610 Fixed by 349cda in Moose 0.78
611 - Fix deprecation message for Catalyst::Dispatcher to refer
612 to the class actually calling the deprecated method. RT#45741
613 - Clarify limitations of $request->base and $request->secure.
615 - Add 'use Catalyst' to documentation for a Moose MyApp class as
617 - Fix so that / (and other special characters) are URL encoded when
618 passed into $c->uri_for as Args/CaptureArgs
619 - Fix development server so that $c->engine->env returns the correct
621 - Require Moose 0.78 to fix metaclass incompatibility issues

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

663 make_immutable. (Dave Rolsky)
665 5.80002 2009-04-22 01:28:36
666 - Fix CATALYST_DEBUG and MYAPP_DEBUG environment variables
667 turning debuging on if defined, rather than if set.

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

697 - Test uri_with clears query params when they are set to undef
699 - Complain about old Catalyst::Devel versions which generated
700 ->setup(qw/-Debug... etc. as this is not recommended
702 5.8000_07 2009-04-12 13:37
703 - Add the Catalyst::Dispatcher->dispatch_type method (ash)
704 - Throw an exception rather than loading an app if an action
705 tries to chain to itself
707 - Change the $c->visit and $c->go methods to optionally take
708 CaptureArgs, making them useful to call ActionChains with
709 - Tests for this (radek)

711 for dispatchable actions so that ->visit or ->going to ActionChains
712 with qw/Class::Name method_name/ works correctly
713 - Tests for this (radek)
714 - Added Catalyst::Test::ctx_request to be able to inspect
715 the context object after a request is made (Jos Boumans)

725 in production versions
726 - Tidy up Catalyst::ClassData to ensure that all components get
727 the correct metaclass
728 - Make MyApp.pm restartable by unsetting setup_finished in
729 the restarter process
730 - Non-naive implementation of making mutable on restart using
731 B::Hooks::OP::Check::StashChange if installed
733 - Naive implementation of making all components mutable in the
734 forked restart watcher process so native Moose apps using
735 immutable restart correctly.
737 - Bump Moose dependency to 0.70 so that we avoid nasty surprises
738 with is_class_loaded and perl 5.80 when you Moosify MyApp.pm

751 - Don't stringify the meta method. Use its name instead.
752 - Use MooseX::MethodAttributes::Inheritable to contain action
753 attributes. This means that attributes are now represented in the MOP,
754 allowing method modifiers on actions to work as expected.
755 - Provide a reasonable API in Catalyst::Controller for working with
756 and registering actions, allowing a controller sub-class to replace
757 subroutine attributes for action declerations with an alternate
759 - Instantiate correct sub-class of Moose::Meta::Class for non-Moose
760 components where Catalyst forces the creation of a metaclass instance.
761 This is more correct, and avoids metaclass incompatibility in complex
764 - Use of deprecated Catalyst::Base now warns.

799 dispatcher and call an action which detaches (for
800 Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization::ACL)

840 - Test for this (Carl Franks)
841 - Fix loading of classes which do not define any symbols to not

846 - Make log levels additive, and add documentation and tests
847 for the setup_log method, which previously had none.
848 Sewn together by from two patches provided by David E. Wheeler
849 - Switch an around 'new' in Catalyst::Controller to a BUILDARGS
850 method as it's much neater and more obvious what is going on

1021 - Allow multiple restart directories and added option to follow
1022 symlinks in the HTTP::Restarter engine (Sebastian Willert)
